southern chinch bug - Blissus insularis Barbar common name: southern chinch bug Barber (Insecta: Hemiptera: Blissidae) Barber, is an insect pest of St. Augustinegrass, (Walt.) Kuntze, a turf and pasture grass grown throughout the southern United States. This tiny pest, rarely measuring over 6 mm in length, causes millions of dollars in damage per year, as homeowners seek to control chinch bug outbreaks by applying insecticides and replacing damaged grass. For this reason, much research has focused on the development of a more economic and effective mode of control, although pesticide application remains the most popular method today.
