Vine Weevil Control - Spring/Summer Control

Vine Weevil Larvae

Feeds underground on roots and stem-bases from mid/late summer through winter, severely weakening or killing plants. Mainly a problem in container plants, but can cause serious damage to strawberries and some plants in borders. Larvae are 'C' shaped, cream coloured with a brown head. 

Control with parasitic nematodes (Heterorhabditis sp.)

These microscopic worms feed and multiply inside the vine weevil larvae causing death. Supplied as an easy-to-mix powder to be diluted with water before use. Whilst an autumn treatment is the most effective, a follow up treatment can be applied in the spring. 

Use H.bacteriophora April, May, August and September or the low temperature species S.Kraussei October and March. 

Available to order between: 1st March - 31st October
