Abstract/Contents:Profiles the billbug, stating that "billbugs are well known insect pests of turf in many parts of the world. Historically, this has been true in the United States in areas where cool-season turfgrass, such as bluegrass, is grown." Discusses potential containment and control options, explaining that "adults can possibly be controlled with a number of pyrethroid insecticides, such as Talstar, DeltaGard or Scimitar." Concludes that "studies tracking the movement and location of adults on the surface, in the thatch and in the soil before, during, and after overwintering will be conducted using...tracking methods."
