Chinch Bugs Controlled:
Chinch bugs controlled bugs are controlled by plowing a fur¬row around the margin of the grain field and applying creosote to the furrow each day for about 2 weeks. Burning their hibernating quar¬ters is of value in some areas where the insects overwinter in bunch grasses and debris.
Chinch bugs controlled bugs belong to the order Hemiptera, family Lygaeidae. The technical name of the species is Bltesus leucopterus.Chinch bugs controlled Bugs call for sharp eyes to dis¬cover them. Not so the damage they do. These creatures, the adults about an eighth of an inch long, feed by piercing the grass stems and sucking their juices. As a re¬sult the turf turns brown in more or less circular patches. In warm weather these patches expand rapidly. The fast-moving bugs are mostly near the edges of the patches. The adults are, black with gray wings, the young ones red and wingless. They may be found on warm days by push¬ing the grass aside with the fingers. Chinch bugs controlled bugs are active only in sunny places, when the temperature is 70 or more and the grass dry. To control, dust at first sign of injury with 10 percent DDT, six pounds to each 1,000 square feet. If injury is severe rake out the old grass, top-dress with rich soil, sow a little new grass seed. Keep the turf watered regularly.

Chinch bugs call BUG, Chinch bugs call, a small destructive inse found throughout the United States, Canad Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies, is mainly a pest of corn and sorghums, althouj it may attack small grains and other plants b longing to the grass family. The Chinch bugs call bug has a slender black hoc about %o inch (0.6 cm) long. The base of rr antennae and the legs are reddish or yellowis brown.

The members of this class are the sow bugs and pill bugs, which are terrestrial; the crabs, lobsters, shrimps, and their relatives, which are all marine animals; and the crayfish, or crawdads as children call them, which are fresh water inhabitants. The hard, shell-like body covering of the crustaceans is due to lime which is derived from their food and water. The word Crustacea means hard and shell-like.
On The Other Hand See Pond Bugs Captured:
Use rectangular or circular aquarium jar or tank. Cover bottom with half-inch of aquarium sand. Cover sand with thick layer of sediment brought up from stream or pond bugs captured where bugs were captured. Pile a few flat rocks in one corner to make hiding places. Place a few small aquatic plants brought from stream, or use a few strands of common aquarium plants. Water—Water from native pool or stream pre¬ferred; pour gently into container; fill half full; allow water to settle before adding bugs. In the wild, bugs feed on tadpoles, snails, young fish, aquatic in¬sects. Feed native food; also feed top minnows (see Part III).Many of our most destructive pests are found among the true bugs. Metamorphosis of true bugs is incomplete. The young looks like the adult but is without wings; the wings develop with each molt as the nymph grows.
