Gardening Naturally NemaTop Adult Vine Weevil Trap
Gardening Naturally NemaTop Adult Vine Weevil Trap
NemaTop Adult Vine Weevil Trap is a powerful biological solution containing 2.5 million insect-pathogenic nematodes (Steinernema carpocapsae) to effectively control adult black vine weevils.
The nematodes are embedded in a gel formula, pressed into the grooves of a specially designed wooden board. Since vine weevils are nocturnal pests that hide during the day, this trap uses their natural behaviour against them for targeted control.
Simply place the board face down on the soil beneath your plants. Adult weevils shelter underneath, where the microscopic nematodes infect them, quickly stopping feeding and killing them out of sight.
- Covers up to 10m² (or 5m of hedging)
- Lasts approx. 6 weeks per application
- Best used between June & September
A discreet, chemical-free way to protect your plants from vine weevil damage!
Frequently Asked Questions
Are nematodes safe to use around pets, people, and wildlife?
Yes, when used as directed, nematodes target specific pests in soil, unlike metaldehyde options like certain slug pellets, and are widely used in organic-style pest management. Apply nematodes to moist soil and water well. Read our blog on Nematodes for Slugs to learn exactly how they work.
When should I use biological pest control for best results?
Start early, as soon as you spot a pest problem or expect eggs to hatch. Biological control works best when you act before numbers explode.
Can I use biological control agents with chemical pesticides?
Often not at the same time as many pesticides can harm beneficial organisms. If you’ve sprayed recently, check product guidance and allow a safe gap before introducing predators or nematodes. Be sure to check the current guidance on certain pesticides as outdoor use of metaldehydes are banned in the UK.
What flowers and plants do pests usually target first?
Pests usually target soft, tender new growth first like seedlings, fresh shoots, and flower buds, especially on plants like brassicas, hostas, and roses. Stressed plants (too dry, overcrowded, or underfed) are often hit even faster.
