Insect Identification

A thick, healthy lawn is your best defense against insects. Make sure you overseed with a grass seed mix containing fescues and perennial ryegrass as they are more resistant to insect damage. The label should list the percentage of each grass type. A mixture with a high percent of fescues and perennial rye and low percent of blue grass is best.
