Use vine weevil nematodes to stop the damage caused by vine weevil larva which can cause serious damage to a wide range of plants by feeding on the root system. Vine weevil nematodes are an effective control of this pest. Naturally occurring microscopic nematodes which seek out and kill vine weevil larvae.
Apply when the larvae are active and soil temperatures are above 12 C. In a heated greenhouse or conservatory application may be made any time of year. In other situations apply in late spring (May/June) and early Autumn (September).
High infestations may need two applications. For outdoor treatment, Autumn use is the most effective as the larvae are younger and have not caused significant damage to plants at that time.
The nematodes will keep for 2 - 3 weeks in the refrigerator (not a freezer)
To use, mix with water and apply with a watering can or sprayer. Drench the soil or compost with water after application.
