help needed-strawberry root weevil
« on: June 08, 2011, 20:34 »
hi i am a new to all of this allotment/gardening stuff...anyway i planted about a dozen of strawberries which are dying one by one and when i took the dead plants out of the ground i disovered these little bugs and their larvae...so i googled it up and diagnosed as strawberry root weevil.
however i dont seem to be able to find how to kill them and protect the strawberries from further damage- the ones that are not dead yet!
and once the bugs are in the soil will they attack and damage any other plants or just strawberries.
i am quite desperate as i seem to have everythin eaten - not by me though! and i have only just started :(
any help, advice welcome.
thank you.

You can get nematodes that will get rid of them, but I've never used them myself so I don't know how effective they are. I think they're quite pricey too.
