Vine weevils

Yuk.....obviously resistant to the cold, I have a feeling I should check some of my pots that I saw adults on last year, just in case...although I treated the soil. Feast for the birds!

unbelievable how many you have found

Wot a lot you got..!!!

horrible little things.....

Yukky things. I have lots of pots. Can anything be watered into the pots to get rid of them instead of disturbing the plants?

You can get vine weevil nematodes. They cost about £8-9 but are probably worth it.
By the way, the birds ate them and they wernt around for long.

Yes Gee....Provado .....will get rid for up to 6 months...

i have nightmares about them buggers....i have been checking my pots and am fairing well so far...i use amillatos twice a year..it steralises the eggs and puts the adults off laying new ones....or so they ....

What is/are amillatos, Sandra? I googled it and nothing came up :(

Armillatox...?

sorry.... armillatox....its like jeys..fluid..it stinks and puts the buggrs off laying their eggs. its an organic treatment...the strong chemicals that are in some of the comercial vine wevil treatments are dangerous and can cause health problems for those using it...

Thanks, I'll check it out :)

Lucky you found 'em. At least the birds will get a treat.

How revolting, I am sure we have some in the garden, will get some Armillatox just in case.

The evil weevil! I've lost Begonia tubers, they make holes in the tuber and eat them either outside or in the greenhouse.
