🐛 Strawberry Root Weevil Alert for Gardeners & Homeowners! 🐛
Noticing ragged notches on the edges of your strawberry leaves… or finding small dark beetles crawling around your house this summer? You may have strawberry root weevils (Otiorhynchus ovatus).
Adults are about ¼ inch long, shiny black to dark brown, with a blunt snout and rows of tiny pits on their backs. They cannot fly.

What they do:

Adults chew distinctive notches in leaf edges (usually minor cosmetic damage)
Larvae (white, C-shaped, legless grubs with brown heads) feed on roots underground — this is the real problem. Heavy root feeding can stunt plants, reduce yields, or even kill them
They also love moisture and frequently wander indoors in summer, showing up in sinks, bathtubs, and basements.

Management tips:

Hand-pick adults at night (they’re nocturnal feeders)
Cultivate soil in fall or early spring to disrupt larvae
Keep weeds under control around plantings
Beneficial nematodes can help control larvae in moist soil
Indoors: vacuum them up — they’re harmless and temporary visitors

Has anyone else been dealing with these root weevils in their berry patch or house this year? Share your experiences or photos below! 👇

Happy National French Fry Day!!!
At The Bug Blaster, we know fries are delicious... but those greasy leftovers and crumbs? They're basically a 5-star buffet for ants, roaches, rodents, and other unwanted guests! 🐜🪳
Nothing ruins a summer fry craving faster than discovering your kitchen or outdoor patio space has uninvited visitors. That's where we come in!
If you have some pests you didn't invite to your cookout/family gathering, give us a call and we can come take care of them for you before your next gathering!
920.826.6233 is our office number, or shoot us an email [email protected] today!
