Viburnum beetles and their larvae feed on the foliage often reducing it to "lace" can defoliate viburnums - most of the damage is caused by the larvae in spring, but the adult beetles also attack the leaves in late summer. A common symptom is Viburnum tinus produces an unpleasant odour when attacked particularly when the foliage is wet. Viburnum beetle overwinters as eggs that are deposited in the bark of stems in late summer by the beetles. The larvae then emerge in April / May to feed on the leaves, before dropping to the floor and pupating in the soil emerge as adults in late summer. Treat the larvae with Nemasys F&V - EITHER treat the larvae on the bushes in April / May by sprayed 3 times at 7 day intervals.
