I have 5 raised beds covered in weevils. One of the beds was used for strawberries, I pulled the strawberry plants up and picked the larvae off and washed all the plants to repot.
Unsure how to get rid of the weevil problem? It’s a lot of infested soil. Nematodes are really hard to get here. And not sure how effective they would be.

There is only so much going through the soil and picking them out I can handle!

Just around the strawberries I’ve pulled up probably a hundred of them.
The other beds don’t have anything planted in them currently was hoping to use them soon.

Is it worthwhile trying to move the soil to my chickens and hope they’ll eat them? How long do the eggs take to hatch? I’m not seeing eggs or adult weevils just the white larvae
 
Your chickens would love them, but another route is Permethrin dust or spray or just regular garden powder will kill them. That would kill any other bugs too though.
