Two types of root weevils may be encountered: the black vine weevil and the strawberry root weevil. These black, 1/4-inch long beetles feed on vines, ivy, wild strawberries and “yew” shrubbery outside. When populations grow large enough, wandering beetles may come indoors. To control them, seal exterior cracks and holes, and treat the perimeter and foundation for the home. Long-term control includes removing the vine, ivy and other vegetation that the weevils target for breeding.
