Vine weevil nematodes will stop vine weevil from destroying the roots of your plants. These microscopic transparent worms (Heterorhabditis megidis) feed and multiply inside the larva. The nematodes seek out and kill vine weevil larvae.
Apply when the larvae are active in late Spring and early Autumn. High infestations may need two applications.
Apply to pots and open ground March to May and August to October. This is when the vine weevil larvae are present. If applying under cover the pests life cycle 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.
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 from climbing into the pots.
The nematodes come complete with instructions and can be applied using a watering can or nematode applicator. You just apply to moist soil when the soil temperature is above 5ºC (41ºF).
Delivery is completely free when just ordering nematodes. Should you purchase any other items then our standard delivery charge will apply.
Please note Nematodes are live material and cannot be returned. They will usually have an expiry date of around 2 weeks. The effectiveness can sometimes vary due to external factors.

The product is very reasonably priced and is delivered very quickly. I lost numerous plants over the winter to vine weevils. When I emptied out the pots the compost was full of vine weevils grubs. Having used vine weevil nematodes in the past I bought some to apply in the spring. This recent purchase is for a second application before the winter to ensure I've got rid of the vine weevils. I have used the product in the past and been very satisfied with the results. Plants which had survived through the winter but had suffered some vine weevil damage to theor roots perked up after the first application and now llok much healthier.

Can’t say if it works or not, l use it as a preventative so can’t say if the pots treated have vine weevils or not, but l use it twice a year and no dead plants.

If only it was easier to dilute!! Instead of .4 of a litre added to 3.6 litres of water, why not round up the figures to .5 and 3.5 of a litre??? Even sell it in several small portions that could be added in one go to 4 litres of water, cutting out the need to make a stock solution???

Hi, I am sorry to see this. The instructions advise for how to dilute to ensure it covers the square meterage as advised on the front of the pack. You can use more or less water depending on how much solution you would like to use, however when you use less water, there is a tendency for clumping and it won't cover the larger area which some customers may require. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Kind regards Gardening Naturally

Supplier = Arrived promptly after ordering so all good. Product = Used it 3 days ago so far too soon to know if it's worked.

An excellent product and the only method that really gets rid of this pest. Most of the chemical treatments do not work now that some solutions that were effective have now been removed from sale due to toxoc chemicals. Just follow the instructions on the packet and you cannot fail!
