Are these the dreaded vine weevils?

[fretaway]

Just been turning over the compost my containers and as well as being overrun with ants, there are these small white oval shaped larvae? Are these vine weevil?

Looks like it. The Robin has a field day if I ever turn any over!

They might be ant eggs?

No heads so not vine weevil larvae. Agree they look very much like ant eggs to me

Had a bit of a Google and they look like ant larvae. Phew. Less problematic than vine weevils then. Thanks for the ID-ing!

I have a question - I didn’t see the larvae but my rhododendrons are being eaten so I bought the nematodes. The packet says to use when the temperature is at least 12 degrees. It will be that until Sunday where I am, and then it will drop to 5-7 at night for a few days. Shall I spray tomorrow anyway, or wait it out? If I have to wait, shall I keep them in the fridge or will a cool basement be enough?

You water the soil not spray the leaves with nematodes. Soil temperature is more stable than air temperature so won't be affected by it dropping temperature

If it's the leaves, that will be the adults, who are very good at hiding. But yes water on nematodes now
