Professional Hunting Billbug Control

Hunting billbugs, scientifically known as Sphenophorus venatus vestitus Chittenden, are one of South Florida’s most damaging lawn pests. These small weevils love to feed on Zoysia, Bermuda and other sod grasses as well as sedge weeds in Palm Beach County. Hunting billbugs are sometimes confused with white grubs, which are actually beetle larvae, but these two lawn pests are not related. Adult hunting billbugs like to chew on the grass blades themselves, while the billbug larvae feed on the roots of your sod grass cutting off essential nutrients and irrigation.

Infestations of hunting billbugs are sometimes confused with a lawn disease or drought as the infected area turns your lawn yellow and eventually dies off. The good news is that hunting billbug infestations in your Palm Beach County lawn are easily resolved with the proper insecticide, but pesticide treatments for adult hunting billbugs and larvae are different. Having an experienced lawn care technician spray your lawn for lawn pests is the easiest way to remove hunting billbugs and maintain a beautiful, pest-free lawn.
