I just dug up a vine which was looking sick and there are tiny < 6mm long white maggots like creatures with antennae on their heads. They move around quite quickly for maggots.

After a quick internet search I might, have a problem with vine weevils, or maybe hypochondria directed at my vines :)

If I have vine weevils, are they going to cause me a significant loss of crop ?? and if so how do I get rid of/or control them??

Edit These maggots have 2 antennae and after reading up, I dont think they are vine weevils. Vine weevils dont have antennae at the maggot stage of development
