NemasysVine Weevil Killer 100sqm

Vine Weevils are the bain of my life. I've given up trying to grow strawberries, and shrubs that they're attracted to. Early spring this year, I found literally hundreds of weevil grubs in several tubs in the garden, so I treated the whole (tiny) garden with Nemasys weevil killer. They've all gone, as far as I can tell! Some plants such as the geums, primroses and foxgloves were so badly damaged before treatment, they are struggling to recover or died. However, I am confident the weevils are at least, under control for now, and I will treat the tubs and beds again, in the spring. This product is a bit of a faf to use, but worth it.

Have only needed to use this every other year, so it is economical in the long run, & its re-use is more in line with prevention. It doess not harm plants @ all; in fact, as a result most plants put on a massive growth spurt in the intervening year, & I've used it successfully on potted fruit trees & shrubs as well as planters & hanging baskets. As far as use goes, I filled the sink with water, stirred in the nematodes, then diluted as required until the sink was empty; after which a quick swish with boiling water sufficed.

I bought and used as per the instructions after finding a few of the vine weevil grubs in some of my potted roses. I understood this wouldn’t kill the grubs instantly, so I checked the soil after treating 2 weeks ago. I found a lot of the grubs had been destroyed (see photo), but there were still several alive in the treated soil. So the product does seem to work but not 100% after 2 weeks, perhaps in another 3-4 weeks there may be more dead grubs.

Always buy this brand as does the job .

Easy to use. 50,000,000 nematodes against a group of vine weevils, weevils have no chance. Water them into the pots or ground,. Nematodes will seek and destroy. When all the vine weevils have gone the nematodes die off. Simple

This is the second time I've purchased this product.I've been trying to grow Boston Ivy in two pots, for several years now. They take several years to get to any appreciable size, and the last ones I had were doing well, until in year 2 or 3, they just suddenly wilted and died; apart from lack of watering, there's normally only one culprit for this, and sure enough, a quick rifle through the soil revealed the dreaded vine weevil grubs! All that effort & waiting, only to be wasted, because of a pesky beetle laying its eggs in the pots of our beloved plants!We replanted last year, and used this product to try and combat the pesky weevils.Unfortunately, we have other pots & raised beds that we wanted to protect, making the smaller box of product too small for our needs, meaning we had to spend more on the large one, which was really overkill (pardon the pun!) and quite a bit more costly.Shame this stuff won't store for future applications, but hey ho!I can't say that Nemasys has definitely protected our plants, as of course, I can't be certain, but I can report that well into year two, our replacement Boston Ivy plants are so far thriving.For info, we've given our plants a couple of good soakings of solution over two days, in July, for the past 2 summers. We've then followed the instructions, keeping the soil moist, but not soaking it too much - thus allowing the product to leach out of the bottoms of the pots.Despite not being sure whether the product has done the trick, or whether we've jut been lucky for a couple of years, I concluded that anything less than 5 stars would have been potentially unfair to the seller, as it could appear to others interested in using it, that it was only average, when in fact, it may have been doing exactly what it's supposed to do.Put another way, I can so far see no reason NOT to award 5 stars for this. The jury will, of course, be out for some time...

Every year my plants start to wilt as I have a permanent infestation of vine weevils. The only way I can try to control them is with either chemical application or nematodes. As I grow fruit etc I need to use nematodes twice a year and have found these to assist in saving my plants. These are also safe for wildlife and pets. I would recommend.

I think it worked but I'm having to write a review before I can find out. It's never 100% successful but hopefully it did a good job
