Battling Vine Weevils and Japanese Beetles...

This past year we had lots of damage to our newly planted fruit trees. The two culprates seemed to be black vine weevils and Japanese beetles. I am determined to save our trees, as well as the various other plants that sustained damage through out our property. I think beneficial nematodes are the answer. It seems the "Heterorhabditis Bacteriophora Nematodes" are the kind we need for our pests. It seems like we might want to apply the nematodes both in the fall and spring. I am just putting in an order for some and I am anxious to get them in the ground.
