San Diego's Palm Weevil Treatment Experts
Preventive Treatment for San Diego’s Most Valuable Palms
The Annual Mature Palm Protection Program provides scheduled, licensed preventive treatment for South American palm weevil (SAPW) on mature Canary Island date palms and other appropriate high-value specimens.
Annual Mature Palm Protection Program
Four scheduled visits. One year of protection.
SAPW can advance inside a palm before severe crown decline is visible. SDPP handles the recurring preventive-treatment schedule so protection does not depend on the owner remembering the next visit.

Protect the palm while there is still time.
- Four scheduled visits per year
- Licensed preventive SAPW treatment
- Visual inspection, repeat photographs, and service records
- SDPP reminders and priority response when symptoms appear
- Direct service from owner and Qualified Applicator John Krause
