I suggest we all check any information on this site or any other for that matter. People do not state their knowledge or their bias. Diatomaceous earth is an organic insect control.What it is, is fine shells from ??? sea creatures. It is sharp and so will kill some insects. While people to not follow directions for chemical insecticides either, wear a mask, you do not want to breathe in diatomaceous earth.

Cinch bugs assuming the OP has it right, are the same as bed bugs. In your lawn, likely in your home as well.

As I recall, chemical applications, require several applications as they kill the insects but not the eggs so you need to allow the eggs to hatch and apply again.

I find it amusing how few people read and follow instructions and how many figure if it says one gallon per 1,000 sq foot or whatever it says. My lawn deserves more than that
I will give it two gallons.
