Palm tree beetle
Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2024 11:54am
We have 2 palm trees with beetle infestation. Is there any recommended trearment or professionals that could help.
once infected they just die unfortunately. To prevent infection they need to be treated with a insectecide that you can purchase not sure where here but there is a place in Arboleas Industrial estate. The treatment needs to be given on a regular basis. The beetle eats the palm from the core and they stink!

The Gun Shop along from the Bowling Abbey used to sell a very good beetle killer and it saved two of mine,unfortunately the government banned the sale of the product and you couldn't buy it any more,I've lost four now they will kill any tree they settle in,Mojacar seafront is losing loads all along the sea front.

We've used a product that you inject from www.controlbio.es. They sell the special drill bit that you need to make the holes in the trunk of the palm and the sachets of liquid which you attach. So far, this has worked for us but treatment is necessary in the early stages before the crown collapses. They will deliver or uou can visit their shop in El Alquian. They also sell traps to catch processionary caterpillers.
