Vine weevil nematodes will stop vine weevil from destroying the roots of your plants. These microscopic transparent worms (Heterorhabditis megidis) feed and multiply inside the larva. The nematodes seek out and kill vine weevil larvae.
Apply when the larvae are active in late Spring and early Autumn. High infestations may need two applications.
Apply to pots and open ground March to May and August to October. This is when the vine weevil larvae are present. If applying under cover the pests life cycle is broken and Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer can be applied at any time, as long as the soil is above 5ºC (40ºF). Apply directly to the soil around the roots which is where the larvae will be feeding.
Autumn use is the most effective as the larvae are younger and have not caused significant damage to plants at that time. Banding pots with Insect Barrier Glue will stop the adults from climbing into the pots.
The nematodes come complete with instructions and can be applied using a watering can or nematode applicator. You just apply to moist soil when the soil temperature is above 5ºC (41ºF).
Delivery is completely free when just ordering nematodes. Should you purchase any other items then our standard delivery charge will apply.
Please note Nematodes are live material and cannot be returned. They will usually have an expiry date of around 2 weeks. The effectiveness can sometimes vary due to external factors.

I have used this product before in my pots and never suffered from vine weevils after that. This is why I have ordered it again to product my plants in their pots this winter and into next year.

Usually lost all of my Primula's at this time of year prior to using these . I still get some leaf nibbles but the plants aren't eaten alive anymore .

I use this every year and it seems to do the trick as soon as I notice weevil root damage

I've used this product for almost 30 years now, having found a weevilled Japanese painted fern sheared off at the base in 1995. I see vine weevils around in my garden during the summer, so I know they're active, but applying this to all my potted plants in spring and autumn has prevented any further attack from the grubs. As proof of its effectiveness: some years ago I found that a recently-bought, untreated heuchera plant had had its top-growth severed by the grubs - I took the stem which had been gnawed off and replanted it in the same pot, then applied Nemasys, to see what would happen. It grew away happily and there was no sign of weevil thereafter. Amazing. And it doesn't kill any other creatures living in the compost.

Buy these every year after having lost several plants to these pests a couple of years ago. It seems to work and is easy to apply
