Red Palm Weevil Treatment in Marbella
Save your palms with certified phytosanitary treatment.
The red palm weevil destroys palms from the inside out. At MAPECO we are certified to perform phytosanitary treatments, saving infected palms with trunk injections and protecting healthy ones across Marbella and the Costa del Sol.
Early detection matters
Signs of red palm weevil activity
- Wilting or collapsing central crown leaves
- Holes and chewed fibre at the base of fronds
- A fermenting smell or oozing from the trunk
- Fallen pupal cocoons or dead adult weevils nearby
Why act fast
- The weevil feeds inside the trunk, so damage is advanced before it is visible.
- An untreated palm usually dies and can infect neighbouring palms.
- Phytosanitary treatment is a regulated activity — certification matters.
- Early intervention often saves a palm that would otherwise be lost.
