Help, we're being overrun with vine weevils. I've just found one crawling up my conservatory wall. DH treated the affected plants with nematodes, but we've lost two potted rose bushes.
Does anyone know of an effective way to get rid of them?
I won't be able to see replies until tomorrow evening.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Thank you Nelliemoser I am looking them up although having studied some of the images online I am not convinced that "my" creatures are vine weevils at all???
They (mine)are short and fat and a sort of creamy beige in colour although I couldn't see an orange head. I also noticed that the soil around "them" had gone a bright orange colour.

I haven't found any sign of them in my pots whitewave but there seemed to be a lot of them in the ground. Of course what I have, might not be vine weevils????
