Frequently Asked Questions:
How does Vine Weevil Killer work?
The nematodes (Steinernema Kraussei ) seek out the vine weevil larvae and attack the pest by entering natural body openings. Once inside, they release bacteria that causes blood poisoning stopping the larvae from feeding, quickly killing it. The nematodes then reproduce inside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungry infective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey.
When to apply?
Apply when the grubs are present or as a preventative treatment when the soil temperature is above 12ºC (54ºF), apply like a liquid feed to the soil around the roots.
How to apply?
Nemasys® products are easy to use. Simply mix the harmless powder with water & apply to the soil around the plant, concentrate on the rootball of the plants to increase the chances of vine weevil grubs coming into contact with the nematodes using a WATERING CAN fitted with a rose, we recommend the Haws Rose no.14 as not all roses are suitable or a hose-end feeder.
