Have hundreds if a couple of thousand plants in pots, and never knowingly
had a vine weevil, but we have recently been finding one or two per day in
the house, crawling up walls.

Have hardly any house plants (one rubber plant and a pitcher plant)

Do they actively try and get into the house? Why?


Are you sure they're vine weevils and not some other beastie? We've had them
in the garden for years, they love nibbling the leaves of thunbergia, and
the larvae regularly trash the container plants by eating the roots, but
we've never seen one indoors.

And no, they can't fly.
