I have found vine weevil grubs in a few outdoor plant pots.What can I kill them with ?

Vine weevil eat away the plant roots causing them to die..... a gardener's nightmare.Is there an alternative to throwing away the plant and soil before they spread ?

The only way to kill them quickly is to take all of the soil off the roots, under a running tap is easiest. Give the roots a thorough rinse and re-pot in a new pot. Throw away any old soil and the pots.


The plants might die after re-potting but they will if you leave them as they are.
