Vine Weevil Nematodes

Microscopic transparent worms (Heterorhabditis megidis) which feed and multiply inside the larva, not visible with a hand lens. The nematodes seek out and kill vine weevil larvae.

Apply when the larvae are active and soil temperatures are above 12o C, in late Spring and early Autumn. High infestations may need two applications.

Autumn use is the most effective as the larvae are younger and have not caused significant damage to plants at that time. Banding pots with Insect Barrier Glue will stop the adults climbing into the pots.

Easy to use, just mix with water and apply with a watering can or sprayer.

Available April/May - August/September
