Vine Weevils

I have just discovered vine weevils in the garden - they've killed my favourite Huchera. They are actually in the soil - not just in pots. I've got it in my mind to use nematodes as I think they're a little better enviromentally speaking.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to brand, method, alternatives etc. Also, is it too early in the year to use nematodes?

Thanks for any help

i tried everything to get rid of them in pots and 1 bed in the end i resorted to fine riddle and i emptied the bed and pots and riddle off the blighters out, then with all the stones in a plastic tub i poured boiling water over just to be sure that i had missed any

 

Thanks for the replies

 

Sounds like a nightmare! If you still have the stumpy top of the heuchera try soaking it in water for a few hours to rehydrate it then pot it up, keep it damp and shady and see if you can make it grow roots. You could also cut the stem into sections and do the same. You'd have nothing to lose.
