VINE WEEVILS
Vine weevil damage can be very easy to identify by semi-circular notches eaten into the edges of leaves, most notably on evergreen shrubs like Rhododendron & Euonymus.
The real damage is done by the larvae or grubs which feed on the roots, often killing the plant. The first sign of the presence of the larvae is usually: yellowing leaves, poor growth and a wilting plant which does not respond to watering.
Weed Management’s main treatment approach is to apply a Nematode (Steinernema kraussei). It is best applied between August and November, when the weevil eggs are hatching and again from March to May, when the soil is warm enough and the larvae are active.
