The nematodes (\u003cem\u003eHeterorhabditis \u003c\/em\u003esp.) are microscopic roundworms that seek out the larvae in the soil, infect them, and cause them to die. The infected larvae turn a characteristic \u003cstrong\u003ebrick-red\u003c\/strong\u003e color, where the nematodes then reproduce, allowing the control to continue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is supplied in powder or gel form and is available in packs for \u003cstrong\u003e10–20 m² (10 million nematodes)\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e50–100 m² (50 million nematodes)\u003c\/strong\u003e. They do not harm plants, pets, or humans – only insect larvae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSigns of vine weevils\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVine weevils can be difficult to detect because the adult beetles are mainly active at night, while the larvae live hidden in the soil. Therefore, it is often the \u003cstrong\u003edamage to the plant\u003c\/strong\u003e that is noticed first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most characteristic sign of adult vine weevils is \u003cstrong\u003eround or crescent-shaped notches along the edges of the leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e. The leaves can almost look as if someone has systematically cut small arcs along the edge. These notches are seen on rhododendrons, among others, but vine weevils can attack many different ornamental plants, perennials, and plants grown in pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaf damage is rarely the most serious part of an infestation. The greatest damage occurs underground, where the vine weevil's \u003cstrong\u003ewhitish, brown-headed larvae feed on the plants' roots\u003c\/strong\u003e. They can also gnaw at the root collar and on larger roots. In the case of severe attacks, the plant may therefore begin to struggle, wilt, or wither, even though it appears to be receiving sufficient water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants in pots and containers can be particularly vulnerable. If a plant suddenly becomes loose in the soil or can be easily pulled up, it may be because the larvae have destroyed a large part of the root system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypical signs of vine weevils are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCharacteristic crescent-shaped notches along the leaf margins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAdult dark beetles, which can mainly be found on the plants at night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWhite or cream-colored, curled larvae with brown heads in the soil around the roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDamaged or eaten roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePlants that wilt or struggle without an immediate explanation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePoor growth or plants that suddenly wither during severe larval attacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to check for adult vine weevils, you can go out \u003cstrong\u003eafter dark with a flashlight\u003c\/strong\u003e and examine the plants. If you suspect larvae in the soil, you can carefully examine the soil around the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to distinguish between the damage from the adult beetles and the larvae. \u003cstrong\u003eNematodes against vine weevils (\u003cem\u003eHeterorhabditis\u003c\/em\u003e sp.) control the larvae in the soil – not the adult beetles.\u003c\/strong\u003e Treatment must therefore be carried out when the susceptible larval stages are present.
