Default 101 Weevil Grubs and the Rhubard

The message
from "Donna UK" contains these words:

I have just been out to move my rhubard plant into the sun and decided to
take the top layer of dirt off to renew with some fresh. When I started to
dig I noticed weevil grubs so started to pick them off. I got out as many
as I can but that is without further down the pot and near to the
crown. In
the end I counted 101 of the things. The rhubard is growing so need I
apply
anything to kill them, or should I take further action against the critters?


Yes, of course you must, if they really are weevil grubs. If you don't,
the bleeders'll be breeding and spreading everywhere.

You can get a biological control for them - someone will be along any
minute with the URL - if not you can gargle for it.
