The remaining maggots will probably pupate, then turn into more vine weevils.
There's some good advice here: Royal Horticultural Society - Gardening Advice: Vine Weevil

When you come to use it you will most likely spot any larvae ... being white they do at least show up well.

I've been researching ways to kill grubs as I have problems with things eating the roots of my strawberries too!

These are supposed to be good and ok on edibles. Nemasys Vine Weevil Killer - Nematodes & Beneficial Insects - Pitchcare Shop
