You need to destroy their breeding grounds. Collect all dead leaves and plant litter on the ground surface and burn them. You need to manually hunt and extract the adults and any larva you find on the ground and trees. You have to do this several times until the population is eliminated.
Grow some vegetation (like legumes or grasses) under the coconut trees to prevent further breeding grounds.
If you are using compost, make sure there are no beetles or larva in there. You do not want to introduce beetles into your grounds from the compost.
