The boll weevil is controlled with insecticide. In addition in the United States, it is illegal to grow cotton south of certain points so it will not cross international borders. Also in the United States, fields are constantly monitored for it. A special effort is being made to contain it where it still exists in a small patch of land at the Texas-Louisiana border. That area receives special attention and constant application of insecticide.
