if you have found the adult weevil, a dull browny 'beetle' type insect then squish her and hope she hasnt laid eggs.
if they are a fat white, brown headed grub in the soil then you you need to repot in fresh compost and make sure there are non nestling in the roots.

I read that as "nesting" and had visions of vine weevils swooping over the acer!

Adult or grub - squash it PDQ!

If you have vine weevils on the leaves you will have characteristically shaped holes in them, like irregular bites out of the edges. Could you show us a photo?

What makes you think its vine weevil? Have you seen one? Is your plant in a pot or in the ground?
