[Alarm Team]

The Problem that you are asking about is Cinch bugs which attack ST. Augustine Grasses. The homes south of Sumter Landing have Zoysia which is not affected by cinch bugs and many of the other problems which affect St. Augustine Grass. The best way to stop the problems with St. Augustine is keep your fingers crossed or PLANT Zoysia Grass.

Every year TV replace hundreds of sq. yards of St. Augustine sod only to do it all over again the following year. They have a great Landscape Department and they have still not solved the problem after all this time. We all would be much better off if someone would find a solution to the cinch bug problem.
