Default Vine Weevil Larvae in outside soil.

Still the same advice ......i have had them in soil outside too and have
used Armillotox for some years when i first got wind of them researching
situation
They have now proved it and advertise the fact in garden magazines

Water the area thoroughly with a solution of Armillotox every 10 days

this
will kill the eggs

All the advice I can find on dealing with Vine Weevil assumes

container
grown plants or plants in a green house. Mine are in the outside soil

in
a border of the garden, with other established shrubs nearby. Is there
anything further I should do?

Many thanks

You can use nematodes. I think the stuff is called "Nature's Friends". You
buy an empty box, send off to the company and they send you a batch of

live
nematodes. You water them in to the soil and they make it their life

mission
to do unbelievably horrible things to vine weevil larvae. Not a chemical

or
a vine weevil in site.
