Vine Weevil Killer

Vine weevils are a devastating plant pest. Suddenly otherwise healthy-looking plants wilt and collapse and no amount of watering will help them recover. The reason? Vine weevil grubs have eaten all the roots.

Vine weevil grubs are particularly rampant in pots or other containers but they also attack plants in borders and beds, where dealing with them is far more difficult. The real danger is the underground grub. You can’t see what they’re doing until it’s too late.

Adult vine weevils damage plants by eating irregular notches from the edges of leaves. Vine weevil larvae or grubs munch away at the root system which slows the growth of the plant, then the leaves wilt and the plant collapses through lack of nutrients. This damage is most evident from autumn to spring.

What does a vine weevil look like? Adult vine weevils are dusty grey/black flightless beetles. They are all female and each can lay up to 1,000 eggs in a season. Eggs are laid during the summer and early autumn ready to become grubs in spring the following year.
