The Red Weevil, scientifically known as Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, is a pest of Egyptian origin that has invaded our natural environments, seriously threatening the health of our beloved palm trees. This small but devastating creature has become a significant threat to the beauty and vitality of our palm trees.

 

Why is it so harmful?

The Red Weevil attacks adult palm trees by laying its eggs at the bases of the leaves, leading to rapid infestation. Their larvae feed on the inner tissue of the palm, weakening it and causing irreversible damage. In a matter of weeks, a palm tree can be completely destroyed, resulting in the loss of an essential element of our landscapes.
