As we have seen dwindling adult numbers as well as no sign of new larvae as we head into late September, we will stop our WeevilTrak monitoring at this location in southwest Virginia.

Things should be really slowing down with annual bluegrass weevils now. But it looks like there is still some scattered ABW activity in New Jersey right now.
Tropical storm/Hurricane Ida brought some of the heaviest rainfall totals I have ever seen in my career in a few just an hours to much of CT, western MD, NJ, NY, and central and eastern PA.
Annual bluegrass weevils (ABW) are still rearing their heads here and there in New Jersey. The spottiness of ABW is pretty normal in summer, especially this late in the season.
August is always a very important and tough month for golf course care in the Mid-Atlantic and North East regions. A few of the major issues include: tired grass from heat stress, seasonal employees leaving which creates a void and labor challenges and then there’s insect and disease pressure.
There was a spike of new ABW adults in the first week of August at Blacksburg Country Club, but this apparently did not lead to any significant larval populations.
All of the sites in our region were advanced into “Scout for Stage 6.” The next couple of days people called me to ask what they should be applying and when. My response at this time of the year is “it depends.”
In areas historically hit hard by annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) activity and damage in North Carolina, June and July have been fairly quiet this year. But this has varied depending on location.
With the warm weather we have had in the region, annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) stages and generations have continued to advance quickly.
After a quiet late June and early July, ABW larvae have shown up in full force in mid-to-late July 2021.
