vine weevil killer

This weekend I saw the first of the beetle form running around the garden. Vine Weevil killer (nematodes) is about 20 euro…

Vine Weevil killer (nematodes) is about 20 euro for a 15sqm area. If I was to go this route then I would be buying enough to cover approx 130sqm (175e)

Is there another way or are nematodes the best option?
