Symptoms of Ash Borer Infestation

If preventative treatment for emerald ash borer is too late, it is not effective. Once a tree becomes infected, the best option is removal to protect the rest of the trees on your property.

We are dedicated to providing high-quality, efficient emerald ash borer treatment services to protect both the overall tree health of our communities and the safety of your property.

The best case scenario is to detect any damage early and take action fast. To spot emerald ash borer infestation in your trees, look for:

  • New sprouts on the lower trunk or branches.
  • Vertical splits in the bark that expose inner wood

Our arborists are fully equipped with the knowledge and experience to correctly identify an infestation in your ash tree and come up with a complete, straightforward ash borer treatment plan for the immediate care and long-term management of the affected trees.
