Start by spraying it. Do it 2 to 3 times within a week, Then once every month or so. I've used the product in the photo. Its available in most of the larger Chinese shops or gardeners. It Costs about €10 and is enough for a year or so. Try not to trim your palm during the summer months as this attracts the beetles.

Thank you very much. That’s just the information I needed.

P. S. If you find these on the tree, remove them and burn them. This is the larvae just before it becomes a beetle.
