Vine Weevil Control Nematodes 12sq.m

Vine Weevil Control Nematodes 12sq.m are microscopic worms that seek out the soil larvae of vine weevil, then feed and multiply inside them to stop these pests damaging your plants. Nematodes are naturally found in soil—by using this product you are simply topping up the natural population.

Vine weevils are serious garden pests that feed on a wide range of ornamental plants and fruits, especially those grown in containers. Adult vine weevils eat leaves, while the grubs attack roots—causing plants to wilt and die.
