It’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to see the vine weevil eggs in compost or soil as they’re so tiny - less than 1mm. Do not let the soil dry out for at least the following 4 weeks, as the nematodes need moisture to survive. The nematodes can give poor results in dry or heavy soils. They work best in lighter soils and open potting composts, such as peat or coir.

Nematodes work for six weeks, but give up to four months since they prevent the larvae from hatching into adults and causing another lifecycle. As an alternative to using drip irrigation, nematodes can be applied to soft fruit crops as a drench using conventional spray application equipment. For example, drenching is often used on blueberry for effective application to the entire root system in the large containers used, including the central root zone where vine weevil larvae do the most damage and the edges where larvae can also occur. In addition, drenching is used in some strawberry crops (e.g. to tray plants if infested with larvae), or to outdoor planted crops where drip irrigation is not available. Conventional spray equipment Mix this powder in a 1.5L watering can and water the area, preferably the ants nest. Keep the soil moist for two weeks.
