Bl**dy vine weevil are eating my strawbs. >:( :mad: I believe i should have started treating in March,but is it worthwhile to start treating now.

Went out last night with torch and picked 14 of the little blighters off a couple of plants.
Like little bullits they are. i had to put them on the bench and squish with a stick as they are too hard to squish between thumb and finger.

Sorry if too much info this early in the morning!

I don't think you are too late.  The instructions say 'spring when soil temperatures reach 5 deg. C.' so I am guessing that now is about right.
