Vine weevil is a beetle that attacks a wide range of plants, both indoors and outdoors, but is especially damaging to plants grown in containers. It is one of the most widespread, common, and devastating garden pests. Over autumn and winter, the weevil larvae stay beneath the soil and feed on roots, causing the plants to wilt and die, and if they survive, the grown adult weevils will then eat plant leaves during spring and summer, resulting in irregular-shaped notches on the leaves.
Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer is a safe and effective way to deal with a vine weevil infestation, that can be used now.
So, what is Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer?
Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer is a natural product containing microscopic worms (nematodes) which seek out and kill vine weevil larvae, but is still safe to use around children, pets and wildlife. Nematodes attack the pest by entering natural body openings, releasing a bacterium which quickly and safely kills it. The nematodes then reproduce inside the dying pest and release a new generation of hungry nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey, protecting the area for up to six weeks.
Follow these tips to make sure that you get the most out your nematodes to conquer vine weevil:
– Apply nematodes when the vine weevil larvae are present, and the soil is above five degrees centigrade,
– Mix Nemasys with water (following the pack instructions) and apply immediately using a watering can or hose,
– Straight after application, water well so that the nematodes are washed into the soil where the vine weevils will be,
– Keep the area well-watered for at least two weeks after application.
