Description

Vine weevils are beetles with a long thin snout and are approximately 8-14 mm (¼ to ½ inch) in length. They are dull black with patches of tiny yellow bristles and cause extensive damage to many popular garden plants.

The adults eat plants in summer and autumn, leaving distinctive crescent-shaped notches on leaves. Finding and destroying the adults is difficult as they are nocturnal, quick moving and play dead once disturbed. The vine weevil grub (larvae) is far more of a danger to plants than the adults. The young larvae feed on plant root systems, initially on small fine outer roots, but progressively attacking the more important main roots as they grow bigger.

Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer is the simple solution to control vine weevil.
Apply to pots and open ground from March to November. This is when the vine weevil larvae are present and the soil is above 5ºC (40ºF). If applying under cover the pest's lifecycle is broken and Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer can be applied at any time, as long as the soil is above 5ºC (40ºF).

Apply directly to the soil around the roots, which is where the larvae will be feeding.
To keep a minor problem at bay, one autumn treatment should be adequate. However, for a serious infestation, treat in the spring and again in the autumn. When treating pots take care that the pots are not allowed to dry out.
