KHON2 has been following the destruction caused by the coconut rhinoceros beetle.
Navy officials will start removing as many as 170 trees from Mamala Bay Golf Course at Hickam Air Force Base on Wednesday.
The beetle was first discovered in December at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam and has since spread west to Campbell Industrial Park.
The state has set up hundreds of traps across the island to nab the pests.
