I report with satisfaction I caught all but one of little buggers and promptly murdered them with a lot of soap. The adult weevil that made a hole at the edge of the leaves was doused with floor detergent for being such an enormous pest. I'm sure there are eggs in there. Dr Utai seemed to house a great number of weevils and some millipedes. I doused the potting mix liberally with insecticide and then sprayed water to dilute it. I hope that will keep the weevils ill and frightened until next week.
