Chinch bugs love grass.  Small and nasty smelling, these 1/5 inch long bugs will do a job on your lawn.  You can keep these obnoxious bugs away by aerating your lawn, removing thatch, and watering and fertilizing your lawn.

Corn earworms are ugly caterpillars that start chewing on corn stalks as soon as they pop out of the ground.  You can minimize the damage these bugs wreak by sprinkling ground lime on corn ears once the silk appears.
