Fear no Weevil!

Adult Vine weevils may nibble the leaves of your plants, but it is the larvae that infest, damage and kill the roots.

A naturally occuring microscopic nematode (Steinernema kraussei) will seek out and kill Vine Weevil larvae. Apply outdoors from March to May or from July to October.

Autumn use is often the most effective since the larvae are younger and have not caused significant damage to plants at that time.

Note: This does not control adult weevils, only the larvae (grubs). Make sure the larvae are present before ordering.
