Product Information

Full details

Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer is for gardeners seeking an eco-friendly method to control vine weevil larvae. Its key benefit is protecting plant roots from damaging larvae by using natural predators. A caveat is that it requires specific soil temperature and moisture conditions for application. This product contains microscopic nematodes that actively seek out and eliminate vine weevil larvae, providing a safe and effective alternative to chemical pesticides. It targets larvae, stopping their feeding and ultimately killing them, thus safeguarding your plants.

FAQs

How do I store Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer before use?

Store the product in a refrigerator at 2-6°C upon delivery. Do not allow it to freeze.

When is the best time to apply Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer?

The ideal times are late spring and early autumn when vine weevil larvae are actively feeding and soil temperatures are consistently 5ºC (40ºF) or higher.

How long does it take to see results?

Vine weevil larvae typically stop feeding within 3 days, and are killed within 2-4 weeks of application.

Can I use Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer on all my plants?

Yes, it is suitable for use on a wide range of plants, including ornamentals, fruit bushes, and vegetables, and is safe for beneficial insects.

Do I need to apply it more than once?

For best and most complete control, applying twice a year is recommended, typically once in spring and once in autumn.

What happens if the soil is too dry?

Nematodes require moisture to move and find their hosts. Applying to dry soil will significantly reduce their effectiveness. Always ensure the soil is moist before and after application.

Can I use this product if I have pets?

Yes, Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer is a natural and safe product that poses no risk to pets.

Troubleshooting

Product arrived and is not cold.

Check if the packaging includes an ice pack. If the product feels ambient but is within its use-by date, it may still be viable for a short period, but contact the supplier if concerned.

Larvae still present after 4 weeks.

Ensure correct application conditions (soil temperature, moisture) were met. Reapply if necessary, ensuring a second application is timed correctly according to product recommendations.

Difficulty mixing or applying the product.

Ensure you are following the dilution ratios precisely. Use a clean watering can and stir occasionally during application to keep nematodes suspended. If using a sprayer, ensure the nozzle is not clogged.

No visible improvement in plant health.

Confirm the pest identified is indeed vine weevil larvae. Consider other environmental factors affecting plant health. Reapply if initial conditions were suboptimal.

Care:
