In Hawaii, the solutions used for vascular injections to treat palm trees against the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) typically contain insecticides specifically approved for use in palms. These treatments include: Imidacloprid: This systemic insecticide acts as a neurotoxin to the beetles. It is absorbed by the tree and distributed throughout its tissue. The feeding beetles ingest it, which effectively reduces CRB infestation. Emamectin Benzoate: Known for its effectiveness against a variety of pests, including CRB, this systemic insecticide poisons the beetles as they feed on the tree’s tissues. Our application of these insecticides through vascular injections ensures direct delivery into the tree’s system, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing environmental impact. Our team strictly adheres to the safest application practices to ensure the health and longevity of your palm trees.
