Nemasys Biological Vine Weevil Killer 12sqm

Great for getting rid of wine weevil grubs in strawberry roots

I've used this product a few times now,pleased to say the damaging weevils have virtually disappeared. Easy to use.I would certainly purchase again.

I had found Vine Weevil grubs in my 15 litre pots of strawberries and bought this product to kill them. I put the pots in a heated propagator to keep at 10 degrees and once up to temperature dosed the pots with nematodes following the instructions exactly as on the packet measuring everything accurately. I kept them in the propagator to maintain the temperature. 4 weeks later I decided to check the soil in the pots and to my horror have found many healthy looking grubs. I feel I have wasted my money on both the product and the cost of keeping them warm. Not sure I wish to pay to treat them again but don't want the grubs to hatch into adults and multiply the problem. Lost confidence in nematodes being a solution. After communication with Green Gardener, they were extremely helpful in resolving the problem so I have changed my assessment and have given them four stars because my experience with the nematodes appears to be unusual and the level of service was very high.

Arrived quickly and is as described. Many thanks.

Ok but hard to say if it works or not.

Well the product arrived quickly, and l put it in a plastic bag in the fridge - not too near the Swedish meatballs. Next day l read the instructions, found a trusty stirring stick and some disposable gloves, hunted the garden to find where my husband had put the watering can and then got to work. Well the only issue l would say is that the cellophane lid on the tray of 'toads was impossible to peel off. Very nice re. my fridge, but not so great now. So l scientifically punctured it with my stirring stick. I used waterbutt water for the 'toads as l thought they would like that. After watering in, with a firm but friendly command of "seek and destroy" l left my new army to quietly get to work. Fingers crossed they obey me...

I found several adult vine weevils and sure enough house plants and new tomato plants grown from seed started to look poorly after using nematodes I have lost one tomato plant but otherwise all saved by nematodes and bearing in mind I have never used this before

Item arrived quickly, however it has a short shelf life, the instructions are rather confusing, and it does not go as far as suggested, after 2 application I still found live vine weevil lave in my beds and had to manually remove them!
