Emerald Ash Borer Treatment
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive, metallic-green beetle that poses a severe threat to ash trees across North America. Originally from Asia, this pest was first detected in Minnesota in 2009 and has since spread rapidly, devastating ash tree populations. EAB larvae feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients, ultimately leading to its decline and death, often within 2-4 years of infestation.
Why Treatment is Important
Protecting your ash trees from EAB is a crucial decision that offers significant benefits:
Cost-Saving Alternative:
Treating healthy ash trees or those in the early stages of infestation is often significantly less expensive than removing a dead or dying ash tree. Removal costs can be substantial, especially for large trees.
Preserves Healthy Trees:
Treatment allows you to keep your mature, healthy ash trees, preserving your property's aesthetic value, shade, and environmental benefits. It's an investment in your landscape and the local ecosystem.
Maintains Property Value:
Healthy trees contribute to property value. Protecting your ash trees from EAB helps maintain your home's curb appeal and overall worth.
