The adult Emerald Ash Borer came from Asia to the Detroit area in 2002 and has spread with no natural controls. It has since made its way to the West Metro of Minnesota. Emerald Ash Borer will destroy 100% of Ash trees if left untreated. Our pesticide injection will protect your Ash trees for two years.
The borers are smaller than the size of a penny, tunnel under the bark of the tree, and the damage is not immediately seen. Once the thinning canopy or epicormic sprouts are seen, Emerald Ash Borer has been present for some time. Emerald Ash Borer affects the tree’s ability to process water and nutrients, weakening the tree and increasing the propensity for falling branches and even trees, putting power lines, property and people in harm’s way.
