good chance. take a good look at your vines if you see a little hole with "sawdust" around it you might want to take some action.
gardensalive.com haves a product called Nema-Ject Nematodes. its a syringe packed with a million nematodes just give your plant a shot (and pray)for $12.95.(organic way).
or you cut out the egg sack yourself (if know what your doing way).
or use merit (nuke-em way).

good luck, had a svb blow up a main vine two years ago didnt catch her in time.

Type in svb eggs in the site search window and you will get some links to pictures of their eggs.Then you will know what to look for.

Look carefully as Steve suggests. Remove any & all eggs. Spray with a contact insecticide like Talstar ASAP. Drench vines that look like they were bored into with Merit as well.
