The weevils are easily removed by hand or shake the tree and send in some chickens. You will need to squish them on concrete though. Then add spinosad as a root drench for the larva. I find they love mangos and select citrus trees. They really loved my old key lime tree before the cold killed it a couple years back. Weirdly after it died I havent seen them on the property since. Could also be because my neighbor across the street with his uncared for fruit tree farm has finally moved on and trees mostly died off.
