Damage is often discover in July and August... that's right now!
Just like us, Chinch Bugs are most active in the spring and summer. Unlike us, they live in the thatch layer of your lawn where they feed on the grass and suck out plant juice. While they're busy doing that, they release enzymes which cause your grass to turn brown & die.
If you take care to regularly feed and water your lawn and it still shows signs of drought damage, you may be dealing with a chinch bug infestation. Turf should respond quickly to watering if it’s only thirsty—but if it has been overtaken by chinch bugs, it will not.
You may notice:
> Yellow spots, usually in the hottest, driest parts of the lawn
> Dead areas are brown, irregular sunken patches, which can blend into larger dead areas
> Damaged areas are not responding to your regular watering
