We here in North central Missouri have had an unusually bad infestation of weevils this year as well. We had a late hatch as well, so spraying was delayed. When I did have to spray, I really knocked down a lot of growth. There seemed to be "two" hatches this year. The insecticide treatment didn't work nearly as good this year as in previous years.

The label should state what restrictions are applicable to your area.
