BUG DAMAGE in lawn | Pest Control in the lawn

[@leonardporche]

I have seen this little boogers before. Thanks for the tip I’ll be ready for them

[@coy9901]

I’d like to see a centipede calendar from you including herbicides and pesticides

[@clewis1107]

I had these last year. Immediately action after seeing them really helps. Waited too long researching and they caused a lot of damage. Great video

[@xiaobao4757]

No.... I have a bunch of those things jumping around my yard.

[@tbolchoz]

I'm in coastal South Carolina and get these all the time. The info on the Internet seems to indicate they're pretty harmless so I did nothing about them last season and my yard looked like hell when it came back in spring. I had a lot of 6-12" completely dead patches. Treat for these as soon as you see them.

[@raydavis3697]

I have that I didn’t know what that was. Nice video

I've used Talstar P as a general purpose pest control on my yard for 5-6 years now, with good results. This year I noticed the bugs you mentioned and treated my entire yard last week with Talstar P. Thanks for validating this as an effective treatment for these pests. I also plan to re-treat the entire lawn every 4-6 weeks.

Great plan, thanks for watching!

So glad I came across this video! I’ve always wondered what those little sudsy-like spots were in my centipede! I usually only see them in the mornings when it’s warm out & then they disappear. Hoping to find a granular product to get rid of those and mole crickets- any suggestions? Thanks for the time you spend educating us! 😊

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

Anything with active ingredient Bifenthrin should work. Most granulars have this. But also something like Sevin should work too. Usually the label specifies the bugs it controls and a lot of the times spittlebug is on the list. Thanks 🙏

[@wayneessar7489]

It is to bad there isn't a way to disperse their protective foam and dry them out in hot weather.

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

Agree. I’ll be ready next year for them!

[@kingkon164]

I do appreciate that info.

[@roll62]

Do you have any advice with yellowish centipede grass? I have a few areas that I’ve noticed this and not sure of the cause or the remedy. Thanks!

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

Could be any number of things. Could be chlorosis which means you need to do a chelated iron application. Or it could be a fungus (brown patch) if you’ve had a lot of rain/irrigation. Or it could be bug damage or lack of water

[@futurestradingwithmike]

Always great content covering Centipede grass. Thanks for answering my previous question. Would you recommend using Atrazine in the fall once things start cooling down as a pre-emergent to prevent cool season weeds from germinating in Centipede.

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

I personally have not tried Atrazine in the fall. I use it mainly in the spring and early summer to attack poa annua and also helps with prevention of chamberbitter. If you have only done 0 or 1 apps for the year you could try it to see if you get results 👍

I've had some brown/yellow dead spots in my yard lately and today I found I have some type of bug in the damaged areas. I haven't been able to identify it by looking online but it's about a 1/4 inch long, brown body, with two perpendicular orange stripes. I've ordered the Talspar P to give that a try. Update: These critters were indeed Spittle bugs. I used Talstar P to treat my lawn and had to do several applications to get rid of them.

[@mikelufsey7664]

Always enjoy your info on centipede grass. Daughter moved into a new home in May, builder put down centipede sod, in June I put Scott’s starter fertilizer which has kept the lawn green this summer. Now it’s the middle of August here in SC, should I put anything else down heading into Fall? Thanks

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

👍What was the analysis of the Scott’s?

[@mikelufsey7664]

@@CentipedeCentralLawnCare it was a 25-24-4

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

Probably not but if you do anything only do a potassium feeding like 0-0-25. For future reference centipede doesn’t like much Phosphorus. Check out my video on How to Fertilize Centipede Grass for details.

[@mikelufsey7664]

@@CentipedeCentralLawnCare I took your advice on my established lawn using Andersons 16-0-8 and use Humic DG, my centipede has never looked better. Thanks

[@xBenny_Blanco]

Hey bud. I need help trying to identify my lawn. I believe it's centipede but not sure. Is there a way I can send you an picture to help me out? Thanks

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

Does your lawn contain runners with alternating nodes of blades of grass from the runner (ie not side by side but alternating)?

[@xBenny_Blanco]

@@CentipedeCentralLawnCare No I don't think so. But I posted pics in the turf management subreddit and people are saying my entire front yard is not centipede but crabgrass lol. I just hope they not correct. I just bought my house 2 months ago and the lawn came as is. That's why I'm confused. Thanks for the answer by the way

[@Typical_Brothers]

Any sense in putting down a pre-emergent and/or overseeding heading into the fall? Planning on putting down some potash but want to fill in some bare spots and prevent winter weeds.

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

I think overseeding with centipede seed at this point would be a little late to establish a strong roots. You can’t do both pre emergent and overseeding because the preemergent would prevent the seeds from germinating. Definitely a potassium feeding heading into fall. 👍

[@Typical_Brothers]

Any recommendations for a granular pre-emergent? Don’t have a sprayer

[@kingkon164]

Hey maybe you can answer this question because I've been searching and can't find the answer. Are centipede seed head sterile? I can't find any research on it because someone stated they are. If so can you post the link so I can read up on it. Thanks

[@CentipedeCentralLawnCare]

I’ve read a couple of articles that they are fertile: homeguides.sfgate.com/natural-reseeding-centipede-lawn-94253.html

Spittle bugs are the worst!!!
