Once a lawn has been treated, the dead grass won't grow back but needs to be replaced by sod or seeding. "That will make the conditions less prone to chinch bugs in the future so fall aerations are one of the best things that homeowners can do on an annual basis to make sure that chinch bugs aren't coming in to stay in their 'Airbnb' when it gets really hot in July in August." "Fall aerations are very important for disrupting the lawn itself and de compacting the soil, opening it up so that it can breathe essentially," he said.
