Re Plant After Viburnum Beetle

Question

After several years I have given up with trying to control viburnum beetle in my viburnum hedge! Can I replant a new Yew hedge? Will the beetle attack it ?

Answer 1

There is no real good way to get rid of them, unfortunately. You can remove all sacks before they hatch around May, and treat the larva, but this will be a yearly task.

Here is an article that will offer more information:
