Grab a fistful of your lawn, and if you can pull it up like a rug, insects are at fault, and you may even see them on the soil. If this is the case, watering doesn't affect the insecticide, but it does help keep the soil ideal so your lawn can grow back quickly. If your lawn doesn't pull up like a rug, then the problem is actually most likely drought. After reading this article, you should have a good idea of how to fix and prevent future outbreaks of drought. @Sam
