If you grow hostas nearby, don't do anything, since what you have are black
vine weevils. They are very difficult to kill. If you get rid of them off the
impatienses, they will then attack the hostas!
If you want to kill them, drench the plants with a solution of Diazanon.BUT
you will never kill them all!

Good Luck
