Nemasys vine weevil killer 12sq m - same-day despatch for Insects

Vine weevils are not the easiest to get rid of, particularly on food crops such as strawberries in containers. All container plants seem to be at risk. The first sign is usually poor or no growth in spring and investigation finds plants with little or no root and white grubs. With effective chemical treatments usually unsafe for food plants one solution was to dig plants up, remove all soil and grubs, wash the roots, and replant in clean soil, which sets back the plants for weeks. The use of nematodes is simpler. Water them in and let them do their work eliminating the grubs. It is a simple and effective solution, chemical free, ecologically sound and perfectly safe which seems to work well. The supplied nematodes will only attack the grubs not the plants . . . the plants will have their own nematodes! If nematodes are new to you they are the most numerous species on the planet with an estimated 60 billion for each human and can be found everywhere and in everything, including each of us.

After another find of Vine Weevils, this time in my strawberry raised bed, action was required. Nematodes seemed to be the answer as they only target the vine weevil grubs and no other creatures are harmed. I placed an order which arrived before the expected timeline, well packaged. Id previously read that if not being used immediately, to refrigerate them, which I did untill I was ready to use . I didn't open the package immediately but knew they were to be mixed with water when just about to use . Once opening the package and reading the instructions, I realised that the weather conditions weren't suitable. Luckily the use by date gave enough time for the forecast rain to come. The film in the actual container was fiddly to open but if you carefully read and follow the instructions, everything else was quite straightforward. I don't know yet if/ how effective the nematodes are but I expect another application will be required in a few months.

Lost many plants to vine weevils, this eliminated them with no fuss.

Great service thanks. Item delivered promptly and a good price

I've used these for a couple of years now, since we got our vine weevil colony! In the absence of any real treatments, I apply these critturs twice....early and later summer. They're invisible to the naked eye and when they're watered in so I've no (eye)dea whether they are in the stuff I carefully mix and apply, or whether they are doing what they are supposed to be doing? I also go out every night just as it becomes dark and pick any and all weevils off the plants and kill them. I suspect this is what is keeping down the numbers......but I continue to hope the nemotodes are making my twilight assassination a shorter event than might otherwise be necessary!!

Does what it says on the tin.

Not sure if it’s worked yet

Great product it worked on my vine weevil too late to save my strawberries would recommend
