Palm Tree Pest Control in Dubai & UAE

Palm tree pest control in Dubai that catches problems early

Inspection and treatment for red palm weevil and other pests and diseases on Washingtonia, coconut and other palms.

The red palm weevil is the most serious pest of palms in the Gulf. Its larvae feed inside the trunk, so a palm can look healthy until it suddenly collapses. Coconut, Canary Island date palms and many other ornamental palms are at risk, as well as date palms.

Our palm tree pest control in Dubai starts with a careful inspection of the crown and trunk. We look for holes, oozing brown liquid, chewed fibre, a sour smell and wilting young fronds, which are the usual signs of weevil attack.

When we find a problem we explain the options: preventive spraying, trunk treatment, cleaning of infected tissue or, for palms that cannot be saved, safe removal so the pest does not spread to other palms.
