Late spring around Arlington, Frisco, and Waco is when warm season grass looks fine above ground while insects feed below or along the canopy edge. Catching damage early leaves more options than waiting until July brown out.
Grub clues
Spongy turf, sod that lifts like carpet, or animal digging at night may mean white grubs in the root zone. Probe a thin edge with a hand trowel and note what you find.
Chinch bugs and armyworms
Chinch pressure often starts in sunny Saint Augustine or stressed Bermuda. Armyworms can chew blades quickly after warm rain. Brown patches with different edges than drought need a second look.
