Claim on WhatsAppHow do I know if my date palm has red palm weevil?
Common signs are small holes in the trunk, brown sticky liquid oozing out, chewed fibres near the base, a sour fermented smell and a crown that wilts or leans. Found early, an infested palm can often be treated; badly damaged palms must be removed safely. We start with a free palm health check.
Catch red palm weevil early and save the palm
Red palm weevil found early and treated, starting with a free palm health check.
The red palm weevil is the most serious pest of date palms in the UAE. Its larvae feed inside the trunk, so a palm can look fine while it is being damaged. Our red palm weevil treatment in the UAE starts with a careful inspection of the trunk, crown and base of every palm.
Early signs include small holes in the trunk, brown sticky liquid, chewed fibres near the base, a crunching sound inside, and a crown that wilts or leans. We also check for other problems such as scale insects, dubas bug, leaf spots and trunk rot, because a stressed palm attracts the weevil.
When we find a problem, we explain it simply and agree a treatment plan, which can include targeted trunk treatment, cleaning of the wounds, pheromone traps nearby, and follow-up checks. Badly damaged palms are removed safely to protect the palms around them.

Check the trunk and crown of your palms for these signs. The earlier the pest is found, the better the chance to save the palm.
| Sign | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Small holes in the trunk | Larvae are feeding inside the trunk | Ask for an inspection quickly |
| Brown, sticky liquid | Sap is oozing from damaged tissue | Do not seal it yourself; have it checked |
| Chewed fibres near the base or crown | Larvae are pushing chewed fibre out of the palm | Ask for a trunk inspection |
| Sour, fermented smell | Tissue is rotting inside the palm | Inspection and a treatment plan |
| Wilting or leaning crown | Serious damage near the growing point | Keep people away; the palm may need safe removal |

What are the signs of red palm weevil?
Small holes in the trunk, brown sticky liquid, chewed fibres near the base, a crunching sound inside the trunk, and a wilting or leaning crown.
Can a palm with red palm weevil be saved?
Often yes, if it is found early. That is why regular inspections matter. Palms with severe damage may need to be removed to protect nearby palms.
Is the palm health check really free?
Yes. We inspect your palms and explain what we find, with no obligation. You only pay if you choose treatment.
How often should palms be inspected?

Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?
Treatments are applied by trained staff following product instructions, and we tell you if any area should be kept clear for a time.
What else can harm date palms?
Scale insects, dubas bug, leaf spots, trunk rot and stress from poor watering or feeding. We check for all of these.
Do I need to report red palm weevil?
Some authorities in the UAE track this pest. If we find it, we advise you on the next steps and any reporting your area may need.
Do you treat other palms, not only date palms?
Yes. The red palm weevil also attacks Washingtonia, coconut, royal and other palms, and we inspect and treat them the same way.
