Their choice of hosts has also expanded, and they have been reported feeding on perennial ryegrass (lolium perenne) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera).

[1] [2] Damage to turfgrass appears as yellowing or browning of patches of turf that will grow larger if untreated.

[3] Biological management of annual bluegrass weevils has only been proven moderately effective in the lab environment.

Cultural management of annual bluegrass weevil can be achieved by limiting the populations of susceptible hosts, providing adequate moisture and fertility, and removing leaf litter from turf areas in the fall as this is where the adult ABWs overwinter.

Preventive applications of insecticides, especially pyrethroids, should be timed with the local Forsythia bloom (half green/half gold)in order to cut the population before the first generation of eggs are laid for the year.
