What Are Billbugs?
Billbugs are a type of weevil that damage lawns by feeding on grass roots and stems. Their larvae (grubs) do the most damage, especially in late spring and summer. In Boise, Nampa, Meridian, and surrounding areas, billbugs are one of the most common lawn pests, often mistaken for drought damage.
Signs of a Billbug Infestation
✔️ Patches of dead or thinning grass
✔️ Turf that pulls up easily like loose carpet
✔️ Birds pecking or digging at the lawn
✔️ Tiny black or gray beetles near soil surface
If your lawn looks like it’s dying even with watering, billbugs could be the cause.
DIY Billbug Control Tips
✅ Keep lawns healthy with proper watering and mowing
✅ Aerate and dethatch to disrupt grub habitat
✅ Use resistant grass varieties when reseeding
✅ Apply grub control treatments early in the season
These steps can help, but professional treatment is usually required to eliminate larvae before they cause serious damage.
