I noticed my coconut palm tiki had those a coupla years ago. I saturated every area that I noticed holes (usually surrounded by a little mound of dust) with Natural Plant Extract RAID I picked up at my local Home Depot. I then wpapped it in plastic for 24 hours and ...voila, no more beetles. If you have a thing about insecticide, I've been told placing your tiki in a big freezer for a few days will also snuff out the little pests.
