According to the product label, the Acephate 97UP Insecticide is for application only to NON-bearing trees and vines in nursery fields or in NON-bearing orchards. Do NOT apply to interplants or single trees. Unfortunately, there are not many options with this type of weevil, but you may also want to look at the Zylam which can be used to spray the tree and used to treat the soil to kill the immature larvae. It will not sterilize the eggs. Also, please refer to your local cooperative extension office who work with local universities and normally have entomologists, arborists etc or a local nursery as well who may be more knowledgeable on this type of problem.
