Washingtonia robusta leaves are sticky/sappy (parasites?)
On my Washingtonia robusta, are these flat oval shaped parasites.
They are not moving and do not appear to have legs and lay flat on the stalks and leaves.
Anyone have any idea and if so how do i get rid of them?

I do not like the Christmas lights anymore. A few years ago I wrapped my palms with berlap and built a frame with plastic all around it.

Your front yard
Yes, the yard looks awesome!!!!
