Pest Profile: Black Vine Weevil |
|
|
By Tamara Galbraith
This spring, watch out for the Evil Weevil.
Black Vine Weevils, or Otiorhynchus sulcatus, are a destructive beetle-like pest and the big enemy of rhododendrons everywhere. The weevils also love dining on strawberry, blackberry, and blueberry bushes, as well as azaleas, yews, hemlocks and more.
Adults chew half-circle chunks out of leaves, feeding primarily at night, but it is the larvae that do the most damage, as they feed on plant roots. Large roots and stems can be literally stripped of bark. Larvae feed in early spring as temperatures rise, pupate and emerge as adults by early summer.
Nematodes, wasps and birds are your best friends in battling these nasty creatures outdoors. However, they can also infest your indoor plants; use a low toxicity spray and/or drench if you spot weevils. Because weevils are non-flying insects, sticky tape and traps also work well.
