Puncture vine weevils

[RockingS]

The pest here are puncture vines (aka flathead stickers). They are awful & I have concerns with my flock (which includes ducks) getting injuries and associated infections. I’ve read about puncture vine weevils that actually eat them! I’ve been interested in purchasing some for years, but have not found any available to buy. I live in Texas and have even reached out to a couple of college ag departments with no response. I saw a 2015 post where another person said they’ve used these weevils in conjunction with pulling them up. If anyone has any leads on where these puncture vines weevils may be purchased I would greatly appreciate it!
