vine weevil again
 

I thought I had beaten the b*****s. I have not seen a vine-weevil for
over a year. Today I found a newly emerged (soft to squish!) weevil on
a plant in my garden. Now it seems I have to start the battle all
over again. I have over100 pots and they could be anywhere except
recently potted things.
You might have heard rude words in the skies over the Bristol/Bath
area!

ps of course I'm only interested in washing the vine evils, the though of
using armillatox as a pesticide never entered my head

Shhhhhhhhhhh the EU does not allow you to say Armillotox is a pesticide !!
but before their stupid bans and regime for testing research showed it
worked

Its one measure of the bottle top bit to a large watering can

I'd be interested to know if it works. It made not a scrap of
difference to my vine weevils. I soaked my fuchsias in a bucketfull of
the stuff, never mind about watering it on, the little swine seemed to
thrive on it.

Gee thanks Pete for the encouragement!! LOL
I will try using Arnillatox (to clean my pots!). If I find any more
after that I'll have to resort to nematodes, but as I already have the
former and I know the latter is expensive, I'll try the cheaper option
first.
