Problems with Emerald Ash Borer?

If you’re concerned that your tree may be infested with Emerald Ash Borer, here is a quick and helpful FAQ to help you get started.

I think my tree is infested…what is a good telltale sign?
You can typically tell a likely EAB infestation by woodpecker damage from woodpeckers trying to get at the larvae under the bark. 

I am ready to save my tree. Is it worth it? What are its chances of survival?
If your tree provides significant aesthetics and/or shade, you may consider making an initial investment.  At this point of infestation there is only one viable treatment; Tree-Age,  a therapeutic insecticide injected directly into the tree.  It remains effective for at least 2 years.   

If the tree shows signs of leafing out in the majority of the canopy, we would treat it.  Chances of saving it are good (researchers have said if it more than 50% alive, treat it.)   Research has shown trees injected continue to dieback for the remainder of the first year of treatment and start to bounce back and put on new growth after that first year.

Do you offer any type of warranty on ash tree treatments?
We don’t have any warranties of performance with our ash tree treatments.  However, we do prescribe to the best research information available. If we think it is worth saving, we will do our best to save it.  We would never recommend treating an ash tree that we think will ultimately die.
