Vine Weevil - the notorious larvae of the vine weevil is a root-munching regular in the top five on annual lists of gardeners’ most hated pests. These creamy coloured, soil-dwelling grubs feed on the roots of pot and border plants along with strawberries and cause extensive damage, often resulting in the death of the plant. Adult weevils also get in on the act by nibbling the edges of leaves but it’s the larvae that pose the real threat to plants.
But help is at hand in the form of Steinernema kraussei, a nematode on a mission to seek and destroy and a key player in our Natural Choice range of pest control products. The grubs are quickly located by these tiny microscopic worms and the nematode wastes no time entering the larvae and releasing bacteria, resulting in death. Apply at the correct time of year (March and autumn) and your vine weevil worries could be a thing of the past!

Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer |
 |
from £8.95
|
Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer is just the thing for gardeners who have had their pot and border plants mysteriously killed by the underground, root-feeding menace of vine weevil larvae. These greedy grubs live in the soil, feed on plant roots - even burrowing into corms, tubers and rhizomes - and not surprisingly cause plants to wilt, keel over and even die.
Many ornamental plants and fruit bushes are affected by the larvae but the nematodes (Steinernema kraussei) which form the Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer soon hunt out and kill them when applied in spring and autumn. Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer relies on the soil temperature being in excess of 12ºC and is supplied in two pack sizes; Small (covers 12 sqm or roughly 150 pots) and Large (100 sqm).
And you'll welcome our Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer Double Pack; order just once and we'll send you a pack of Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer in spring and another in the autumn or if you choose one in autumn and another in spring for complete control. The Double Pack option saves you both having to re-order and a postage charge and is available in both Large and Small pack sizes.
Please Note: This live product is despatched to UK addresses only at the optimum time for application (indoor treatments available all year round). |
