hey you're those pesky insects and other varmints bothering you you've come to the right place solutions has the solution to your problem hey my name is Keith McCoy I'm with solutions self chem if your do-it-yourself or like myself hey you've come to the right place we have the answers to your problem there are many insects that will attack a yard here we have san agustin grass which is real susceptible to chinch bugs and grub worms chinch bugs was usually symptoms will show up against concrete whether it be a sidewalk curb driveway that brown spot will work its way to the inner portion of the yard creating an irregular pattern if you will we want to use a product called sayonara in a hose end sprayer to spray down the yard as an alternative we could use buy fen granules make sure you water them in well and stay off the treated area until it dries grub worms however brown spots will show up in the middle of the yard you could literally take portions of the grass and pick it up just like you would pick up carpet inside of a home the reason why you're able to do that is because grub worms actually eat the root system of the grass usually they show up a couple of times a year you'll want to make your applications in the fall and also in the spring your first option is to use a hose end sprayer attach the hose end sprayer to your garden hose Synar 9.7 will be our choice of product make sure you use it according to label directions mix the proper amount of product in your hose and sprayer to cover a certain amount of square footage to be treated start at the back of the yard spray the entire lawn making sure that you pay close attention to the areas around your sidewalk driveway and curb areas again this is where your chinch bug symptoms are going to begin and we want to make sure that we treat those areas thoroughly well working your way with your treatment towards the inner part of the yard our second option is to use bifeng granules this product will be placed in a spreader and will take the product and we'll just push making zigzag motions in your yard like you're putting out fertilizer we want to water the yard after application make sure you stay off the treated area until it dries now that we've completed our insecticide application on our lawn keep in mind same application techniques are used for controlling grub worms as well remember though we need to treat in the spring and also in the fall hi I'm Keith McCoy with solution self Kim asked us how then do it yourself
