BIOLOGICAL CONTROL

The Billings County Weed Control Board (BCWCB) hosts several field days each year for the collections of Leafy Spurge flea beetles. Click the link below for collection dates, time, locations, and directions to collection sites. At field days, the BCWCB assists in sweeping, sorting, measuring, and dispersing flea beetles. Beetles are distributed evenly among everyone that actively participates in the collections. Beetles are sorted and placed in containers in BCWCB coolers until the collection is complete.

COST SHARE 

Billings County offers cost share to landowners, contact the Weed Board to inquirer about prices. Restricted use products (RUP) will require proof of certification to purchase. Billings County landowners may purchase up to one thousand dollars in chemical each year and will be responsible for paying only 30% of all chemical costs up to one thousands dollars in value. After exceeding the cap, landowners will be responsible for 100% of additional chemicals purchased.

WEED CONTROL PLANS
The Billings County Weed Board supports our local Zoning Board by evaluating new development areas throughout the county. Applications are processed by the Zoning Department, and certain requirements may apply based on the type of application. With any ground disturbance, the Weed Control Officer will inspect zoned areas to identify any State or County Noxious weeds present at the site before construction begins. During the inspection, the Officer will document any Noxious Weeds found and recommend control methods to assist applicant in managing existing plants and preventing their spread.
