System and method for mitigating red palm weevil infestations in a palm tree

A device for mitigating red palm weevil infestations in a palm tree, comprising:

• a solar cell configured to generate electrical energy;
• a battery charger electrically connected to the solar cell;
• a battery electrically connected to the battery charger and configured to store said electrical energy;
• an ultrasonic wave generator electrically connected to the battery and configured to generate ultrasonic waves in a frequency range of 20 kHz to 100 kHz;
• a dimmer electrically connected to the ultrasonic wave generator and configured to modulate the frequency of the ultrasonic waves;
• and
• a dual-emitter configuration comprising:
• one or more internal emitters configured for insertion into a trunk of the palm tree, wherein each of the internal emitters comprises a rigid cylindrical probe having a longitudinal axis and a distal end housing an ultrasonic transducer, wherein the distal end is in a form of a cylinder having a length that is no more than 0.05 times the length of the rigid cylindrical probe, and a width that is at least 10 times the width of the rigid cylindrical probe;
• at least one pair of external emitters configured to be positioned on an outside surface of the trunk of the palm tree, wherein each of the external emitters comprises a pair of directional ultrasonic transducers mounted on opposing sides of the trunk and housed within a flexible semicircular bracket adapted to hold each transducer of each pair of transducers directly opposite one another on the trunk and direct ultrasonic waves inwardly, wherein each of the internal emitters and the external emitters are electrically connected to the dimmer, configured to operate in coordination, and positioned relative to one another to direct ultrasonic waves toward overlapping regions of the palm tree, thereby promoting constructive interference;
• and
• a digital screen electrically connected to the battery and configured to display at least a frequency level and a battery percentage status.
