Message: [QUOTE="oneeye, post: 303726, member: 8968"] Very interesting friend. I used to use a long screw driver and spent too much time on my knees. I switched to a golf club with the putter cut off to probe the soil so I don't have to bend over so much. I use it to monitor my pecan trees too. As far as the chinch bugs go your lawn is stressed from over applications of all the stuff you put on it from fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, miticides year after year and all the people before you. I have never seen chinch bugs in a healthy lawn, but have seen a lot in unhealthy ones. What I would do is detox the lawn and don't put anything synthetic on it for a long time. Slowly reintroduce new microbe populations back into the soil to start mending the damage that's been done, because its only going to get worse every year. :cool: [/QUOTE]
