Pear bud cutter at work
The 4 to 6 mm large weevils with light wing bars wake up from their summer sleep at the beginning of September. They feed on the leaf buds of the pear trees. The infestation can be recognized by tapping the branches. Hold a paper funnel under the branch. Spray with a suitable agent before the eggs are laid at the end of September.
