How do I get rid of billbugs?

What You Can Do

The homeowner should always consult with their PMP for help with identification and pest management.
These professionals can identify the pests that are causing lawn problems, plus provide
insight on effective control techniques. Some important techniques for controlling billbugs include:

Using turf grass varieties which are resistant to billbugs.

Using biological control products such as billbug parasitic nematodes and fungal diseases.

Using conventional insecticide control applications during the time of year
when they are most effective against the adult and larval billbugs.

Using lawn care and mowing methods that minimize the amount of thatch and enhance lawn health.
Thatch buildup reduces the movement of water and soil minerals to the plant,
plus creates a good habitat for billbug adults to thrive.
