Vine weevils grubs. Having spent hours yesterday sieving through soil from a large container I managed to catch over 30 grubs!😖 My question is am I ok to re-use the soil once I’m certain I got them all out. (I used a fine sieve and double sieved it.) The soil is in good condition, am waiting for bedding to be delivered in a month. Thank you.

The eggs are too small to see with the naked eye, so a bit difficult to see.
Having said that, it is that time of year when they ought to have all hatched into grubs in any case.
Just keep a careful eye on whatever you plant in it.

Ok thanks. Might put a treatment on it once planted up.

I meant to say they were too small to see so pleased you added that Owd.

No- I put them straight into the green bin as my cats were out with me.

A cautionary yes, depends if you have all the eggs out.
