Additional Information

• Control measures:

1. Good sanitation practices are needed to prevent Red Palm Weevil spreading from infested palms. Chipping, burning, and burying infested material deeply can reduce the likelihood that Red Palm Weevil will emerge and escape from infested palms.
2. Mass trapping has been used to reduce Red Palm Weevil densities. In this instance, aggregation pheromones are loaded into bucket traps along with palm material or sugarcane cut pieces. RPW adults are attracted by the pheromones and the plant material and fly into buckets. Once inside the trap (Phero-Sensor TM Bucket Trap), they can’t escape.
3. Biological control is the use of natural enemies, like predators, parasites, and pathogens to kill a pest. Red Palm Weevil is attacked by a variety of different natural enemies including parasites and small predators that attack weevil eggs, while bacteria, fungi, and nematodes can kill weevil larvae. Many of these biological control agents do not provide adequate control of Red Palm Weevil in the field.
4. Host plant resistance can reduce the ability of Red Palm Weevil to damage palms because the weevil is unable to effectively exploit these hosts.
5. The California fan palm, Washingtonia filifera, which is native to southern California and western
6. Arizona, and the European fan palm, Chamaerops humilis, appear to be resistant to Red Palm Weevil infestations.
