Question
what is the best way to get rid of redish type insects and drought spots.

Thanks you.

Answer
depends on where you live. i'm in southern NJ.
1st decide if the bugs are harmful. less than 1% of insects are harmful. the other 99+% are what we need to control pest longterm. what you have on your lawn may very well be beneficial bugs(sounds like ladybugs). also sounds like a winter fungal/mold problem. to be certain capture one of the redish insects, seal it in a plastic bag, and take it to your local garden center for ID. put some of the drought spot(??) in a bag also. if they aren't sure what it is go to another garden center that does. it's not wise to just spray when you see bugs on lawns. horticulture people are learning that our best hope to control most bug pest is by utilizing beneficial bugs and let nature do its' work. integrated pest management(IPM) is the big buzz-word in pest control in the new millenium. 1st you have to ID the problem pest so you know how to best get rid of it. chemical pesticides are necessary sometimes, but sometimes they do more harm than good. DDT,Chlordane, etc...usually it is not good to indiscriminately spray all bug infestations. hope this helps.
