Mothballs for vine weevil control?
« on: September 04, 2015, 08:36:26 AM »
I am sure I have read, somewhere on the Internet, that mothballs scattered across the sand plunge will deter vine weevil. Does anyone know if this is fact or fiction and does it depend on weather it's the old fashioned mothballs, which I think contained Napthalene, and are now banned??? Also do you think it would deter the pesky >:( adult totrix moths, who's caterpillars are plaguing me
