Management of European elm flea weevil involves maintaining tree health by implementing proper watering, mulching, pruning, and fertilizing practices Insecticides can be used to minimize damage; however, insecticides are difficult to apply to large trees. Contact insecticides must be applied May through June to suppress adult populations. Be sure to read the insecticide label carefully to ensure that “weevils” are listed. Thorough coverage of leaf undersides is important because adults tend to feed on the undersides of leaves. If damage is not extensive, especially on large trees, then there is no reason to apply insecticides.
