Vine Weevil

Vine Weevil is one of the most common and widespread garden and horticultural problems. Vine Weevils are approximately 9mm in size and are a brown/dull black in colour, with dark yellow marks on their wing cases. They attack a broad range of indoor and outdoor plants; however, they are most damaging to container and pot grown plants, especially herbaceous plants such as Hydrangeas and Rhododendrons.

Whilst adult vine weevils cause damage by eating plant leaves during the warmer months, the grubs can cause twice as much damage by eating the plant roots during the autumn and winter. Grub damage will unfortunately often cause effected plants to wilt and die.
