You should begin step by step looking at irrigation and drainage, soil type, depth and pH, also sunlight.
Most likely, your "runners" are sitting on top of exposed roots and you have a mushy feel in some areas, should amend with some topsoil or sand to fill in the space. Likely your soils has a pH around 7.2 and you want it closer to 6.2. This is important for your lawn to actually use the nutrients in the fertilizer. Some sort of coffee application is a great way to acidify. Topsoil helps, but doesn't give the grass a reason to produce deeper roots, and deep roots are key to success.
Once you get these "steps" in a healthy place, only then should you begin pest and disease control as if you don't have a healthy growing place, the pests and disease are not only harder to diagnose, but harder to treat.
