Safeguard Against Emerald Ash Borers

Emerald ash borer infestations can wreak havoc on your ash trees, but with Papa Doc's Tree Service, you can protect your trees and preserve your landscape. Our expert team is ready to help you combat these pests and restore the health of your trees.

The emerald ash borer is an invasive species that eventually kills ash trees. Getting rid of the pest can be difficult, but we're equipped for the job. The primary method is an insecticide spray. The spray is applied to the surface of the tree, into the tree's interior, or into the soil.

Soil injections are typically done in early spring, but they work anytime there is sufficient moisture in the soil. If we spray the tree, we get the job done when the beetles have emerged and are mating. Spraying the tree's surface requires several weeks for full absorption, and multiple treatments may be needed.

While the insecticide is currently the preferred method, scientists are developing other biological control options. This involves releasing three, tiny sting-less wasps that are native to China. These three species, the oobius wasp, the tetrastichus wasp, and the spathius wasp, will attack the eggs and larvae of the beetle and eliminate the threat to your tree.

Whatever treatment we use, you can trust Papa Doc's Tree Service to defend your ash trees. Call or text us now to make sure your trees are safe.
