Default Small weevils invasion!

Hi

I have a potful of nasturtiums and a pack of as yet unplanted night-
scented stock plants absolutely *crawling* with small long-snouted
weevils. They are coming into the house as well, are they a problem

if
they get inside and is there anything I can do to get rid of them?

I've tried to find out what they are and they seem to fit the
description for wheat(?) weevils? If so, what are they doing on

these
plants?

Thanks! Lynda Thornton



Have a look at :

If you recognise them go to

for what to do next !!

Hi

My beetles are much smaller than these, just a few millimeters long at
most, very round bodies and noticeably long elephant-like trunks, quite
delicate. They also fly.

Not vine weevils, nowhere near as large.
