<pre>Dear Steve

Thanks very much for the information, we'll try the "barrier method" and see
how it goes. The only information in texts over here state that control is
difficult and recommend hand picking the females off at night time when they
are feeding and also the use of Otinem which is sprayed onto the soil and
then the nematodes feed on the eggs/pupa. As we are attempting to go organic
the foil or rock wool sound the way for us.

Once again thank-you.

Regards

Bill Blake

<pre>Blake:

We have done a considerable amount of work (primarily insecticides) trying
to control Black Vine Weevil in the soil (i.e. larval and pupal stages).
Nothing has been successful. Topical application to the adult population in
the tree has also been disappointing although some tell of some success with
Diazinon applied at night as a heavy, hand spray application to trunks and
limbs. Other techniques claiming some control include a wide band of tin
foil wrapped around the trunk (the weevils can't cross it) or the same with
a band of sticky "tangle foot" on the tin foil. In the Bari area of Italy,
we were shown a technique where the trunks were wrapped with a "rock wool"
type material (somewhat like what's contained in batting but not really the
same) - apparently the weevils try and cross this and get tangled in the
fuzzy wool. Of course, keeping the "skirts" of the tree from touching the
ground so access can only be up the trunk is essential with any of this.

<pre>Blake:

Let me know if any attempts help, especially the rock wool barrier (note,
their rock wool barrier was about 6" - 8" wide and of a texture coarser that
the wool contained in insulation bats). I haven't used the Italian technique
yet so am operating on hear-say. But, it sounds logical.
