Vine weevil 😢

 I've moved my strawberries that have come back from last year and found vine weevil in the compost 
I've ordered some nematodes but they won't be here until the middle of next week at the earliest, what should I do in the meantime? Will they kill the plants between now and then and as they've been in the greenhouse with everything else do I need to worry about it all dying off? Only my second year growing properly and never had to deal with these before

Strawberries are perfectly hardy. The only advantage to having them in a greenhouse is to attain an earlier crop, but it does give pests and diseases a better chance of getting into them. You may need to just give them a couple of days outside and nights back inside so that they're properly adjusted, especially if they've been very cossetted
