Mainly a problem in container plants and particularly strawberries, vine weevil larvae feed underground on roots, severely weakening or killing the plants. This pest can be controlled with parasitic nematodes (Steinernema kraussei) which feed and multiply inside the larva. Apply to moist compost or soil April-May and August-October when the soil temperature is above 5ºC.


Available for delivery: April - May & August - October.


Orders for natural predators are despatched once a week. Orders must be received by Tuesday 1pm for delivery the following week. Please note orders for natural predators cannot be returned.

Use natures own assassins to protect your plants from garden pests without the need to use chemicals. The predators we supply occur naturally in the UK and are totally safe to pets, children and the environment.
