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.

Vine weevil nematodes are the natural choice for dealing with this common garden pest. It targets the vine weevil without damaging the rest of the eco system in the soil. Easy to use. Works in tune with nature rather than destroying other insects. I do not use chemicals in the garden and do believe that every creature has a place in the soil eco system but sometimes it necessary to address infestations of vine weevil. This product does the job. It is the environmentally friendly organic way to treat vine weevil.

Love that this is a natural way of getting rid of vine weevil. My one quibble is that perhaps they could do a packet for a smaller quantity. I have only a few pots in my balcony and need about half the amount supplied.

Arrived on time. I was a bit surprised, on opening the parcel, that the contents did not look like the picture on the website ie in a square green box with pictures of vine weevils on it. Instead I had a clear plastic sealed box with a black and white photocopy of the instructions (presumably taken from the original box) on what to do with the contents of the plastic box received. Not sure if this was to do with postage weight as it would have been a very small box. Proceeded to water into my pots. 1st time I’ve used nematodes so awaiting results.
