I have a small flower garden and for the past two years Nut Leaf Weevils have been eating the leaves on many of my flowers. I pick them off and kill them but I must have killed over 50 last year. It’s hard to stay ahead of their damage. I was thinking this year of trying insecticidal soap or something that would kill them if they took a bite. Do you have any recommendations for a brand of the soap that would work or something else. Thanks, Linda
Insecticidal Soap is a contact killer so any insects that are actually hit by the spray will be killed but other that arrive later won’t be effective. Poking around the internet I’ve learned that Spinosad can be effective against weevils and have a longer lasting effect. Here’s a link to a page that describes several products that you might find useful.
