Natura garden centre on the roundabout on CV905 and also Chrystianas garden centre on Lemon Tree road, sell a liquid you mix with water, It's in a red box. (Sorry I forget the name on the box).

Be careful with this insect it spreads like wildfire. Contact a professional gardener and get them to remove the plant and destroy it responsibly.
One gardener who has experience with this is Chris Hazael +34 695 51 34 27
He is over in Valverde/Gran Alacant area but he may be able to assist.

The Department of Agriculture in Alicante are very particular about who can remove these palms.
We have 3 certificates for removal, loading and offloading these palms.
Be careful who you employ to do the job. It can result in a 3,000€ fine for the non-certified contractor, and also a 3,000€ fine for the householder. Also, you need to see the contractor's licence of insurance, to ensure that he has the correct cover for operating on your premises. Some of these big phoenix Canariensis palms can weigh 3 - 4 tons, so be warned that a serious accident can happen and you need the relevant insurance to be in place.
We do not sell treatments for affected palms. We are not convinced of their effectiveness. On numerous occasions, we have been called to remove dead palms that have been "treated" and have subsequently died. The distressed home owner finds that they have had to pay twice.
One last thing - you should check that your contractor is registered and pays his Autonomo (Self employed Insurance contributions). Again, if the police appear on the job, they will ask for everybody's papers.
You will find our details on the adverts that appear on the left hand side of the forum announcements.
Good luck.

Ask for a treatment for the picudo rojo, red palm weevil.I have been treating my palms monthly, spray into the crown and on the cut surfaces after pruning.
Bought mine at Natur plant on the roundabout from Quesada to Torrevieja and the lemon tree road.
Mine are healthy and the beetles will die after eating the poison in the fronds.
