As many have said you have to really kill the cinch bugs first and I hope someone did that for you. De powder is used as a filter element for pools, and very cheap relatively speaking. It's available from Leslie pool as well as any other pool supply store just for your reference. It may not be too late to put it down on the new grass but I'm not an expert on that part

You just sprinkle a little bit of it (a few tablespoons per square foot) - on a day when it isn't expected to rain for at least 4 hours. Then repeat the process a week later, and then one week after that.
Then pull out all the dead grass, and add some seed or just let the grass work its way back into place (real grass needs seed. Bermuda grass needs nothing)
