“The decision to not treat an Ash Tree… is a decision to let that tree die.” -Entomologist Cliff Sadof, Purdue University
Tree Condition
Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) affects and kills all types of Ash regardless of their health, condition, size or age.
The arrival of the beetle can often take place 3-4 years before their damage is noticeable. By this time, it is much more difficult and sometimes impossible to save the tree. This is because the most harmful effects caused by the Emerald Ash Borer are done while it is in its larval stage.
The larvae of the beetle bore long, wavy tunnels underneath the bark of the tree. They feed and bore strictly in the thin, moist layer directly under the bark. This layer is known as the cambium and it is not only vital to the tree’s survival, but it is also very prone to damage. The cambium is so important to the tree that the main function of bark on any species of tree is to protect this sensitive layer.
Ash Tree Treatment Methods
The treatment we use is the “trunk injection method“, which is highly effective and will provide two-year coverage.
Our treatment methods are based upon longitudinal studies and the resulting data gathered through the collaboration of organizations including:
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, United States Department of Agriculture, Purdue University, Michigan State University, Indiana University, Ohio University, United States Department of Agriculture -U.S. Forest Service, Neighbors Against Bad Bugs & countless others.
The alternative to treatment is removal, which can be significantly more expensive. When people look into Emerald Ash Borer treatment cost, they're often surprised to find that treatment is a fraction of what removal runs—not to mention the loss of a tree that's been part of your family's story. This is without even taking into account the indirect cost of losing quantifiably valuable benefits that the healthy Ash provides.
