Your post was a good, informative one. We’re dealing with a horde of chinch bugs, and our lawn looks like c**p. Hubby doesn’t want to use too many pesticides at this point. I look at the lawn and wonder why we’re still having it mowed.
I regularly laugh at posts my lawn can take your lawn.
All lawns have issues.

If, you do have cinch bugs, you must have St Augustine grass. Chinch bugs do not like Zoyzia.
As to hubby doesn't want to spray. You really have no choice. To make it worse the chynch bugs have developed immunity to common insecticides also the insecticidesdo not kill the eggs. Look up insturctions. You will likely need to spray 2-3x at two week intervals.
