| Abstract/Contents: | Describes the five major insect pests of home lawns in the United States: chinch bugs, sod webworms, bluegrass billbugs, Japanese beetles, and May/June beetles. Discusses control options for each insect. States that "one advantage lawns have over golf courses, in terms of insects, is mowing height...When turfgrasses are mowed at higher heights, many of these grasses can withstand more pressure from feeding insects. However, the trade-off between golf course turf and home lawn turf is that lawns often do not show insect damage until it is too late." |
