This a common problem in Oklahoma pecan trees. You will normally see a small hole in the pecan as they fall off the tree in the fall or when harvested.
In a commercial operation, weevil traps are placed out in the orchard starting in late July through October to determine weevil emergence.
When X number are trapped then a spray is recommended.
Homeowners, however, will have a hard time determining when to spray without the trapping.
The cost of multiple sprayings through the weevil season also can be prohibitive.
Because of this, it is normally not recommended to spray unless you use weevil traps for homeowners.
For more information, contact the OSU Extension Center, 14001 Acme Road, corner of MacArthur and Acme Road in Shawnee or call 273-7683
