I've never been troubled with vine weevils in all my years of gardening, some 50 
of them. I've heard of them, of course, and felt a slight air of schadenfreude. That'll teach me!
I've a box of strawberry plants on the patio holding 7 - 9 plants and as I was tidying them up yesterday noticed many plants and runners had no roots. I put it down to woodlice but research yielded that chookypigs don't necessarily eat roots. Anyway replacing the eaten plants with new ones, digging a hole I find curly white grubs with brown heads in varying sizes. Vine weevils!
Any advice? Do the biological drenches work? I'm off to Google.
