Treatment and prevention of red palm weevil in private gardens and community palm trees.
What it is
The red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) bores inside the palm. When fronds collapse, it is often already late.
Risks
Death of the palm, risk of falling and loss of property. It is a common pest on the Costa Brava.
How we work
Inspection, endotherapy or spraying depending on condition, and a periodic prevention plan.
Prevention
Regular checks and preventive treatment, especially after pruning.
Frequently asked questions
Collapsed centre fronds, sawdust in the crown or a bad smell. An inspection confirms the condition and whether it can still be saved.
If the growing point is destroyed, no. In early stages endotherapy or spraying can stop the pest. The sooner, the better.
Yes, especially after pruning. The weevil is common in Palamós, Platja d’Aro and the whole Girona coast.
We use authorised products and controlled doses. We tell you any short restrictions (watering, access at the base).
