Bug Clear Ultra vine weevil killer, but at this time of year, you can use nematodes - google Nemesys and select vine weevil treatment

Another vote for Nemasys. It works and doesn't kill everything else that is beneficial. I grow mostly Buddlejas and systemic insecticides are an absolute no-no, as these enter the nectar and would kill the butterflies and bees I want to attract.

Nemasys. Not cheap, but totally natural, can be used with all plants including vegetables and fruit, and it works.

Nemesys refers to a range of different nematodes selected and packaged for different purposes - ants, slugs, vine weevil, see link below for information and supply

Since when? It is still being advertised on line.
Otherwise there is the Nemasys stuff.
