PRIVATE LAND SPRAYING
Billings County offers private land spraying services, but due to the high demand they are limited. We offer private land spraying for a maximum of two spray days, with one crew. We charge $30.00 an hour for equipment use, half the price of chemical sprayed, and half of labor expenses. These prices are only available when grants are present to cover the additional costs. Otherwise, landowners will be charged for the entire cost of chemical and hourly wages of sprayers. Landowners must call yearly to be put on the spray list, due to the high demand for our spraying services. These landowners will be sprayed for in the order in which they call or by the type of weeds needing sprayed. Please contact us with any questions about this process or to be added to our 2021 spray list.

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 picture above for collection dates, time, locations, and directions to collections sites. At fields days the BCWCB assists in sweeping, sorting, measuring, and dispersing flea beetles. Beetles are distributed evenly amongst everyone that actively participates in the collections. Beetles are sorted and placed in containers in BCWCB coolers until the collection is complete.
Dates for 2021 field days will be posed soon.

AERIAL SPRAYING
The Billings County Weed Control Board has been working with the U.S. Forest Service on aerial applications on federal land within the National Grasslands for the past several years. Applications are performed in the fall of the year when trees are dormant. So far all the aerial applications that have been performed were on areas heavily infested with Leafy Spurge. We hope to add addition noxious weeds into these applications in future years. If you have any questions regarding these applications please contact the Billings County Weed Control Board.
