The Denver Arborist is your choice for Emerald Ash Borer Prevention and Treatments

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a destructive invasive insect posing a significant threat to Denver's urban forest. This tiny beetle has caused widespread devastation to ash trees across North America. Adult EABs lay eggs in ash tree bark, and their larvae feed on the tree's inner bark, disrupting the flow of water and nutrients. Once infested, ash trees typically die within a few years. Early detection and proactive measures, such as professional tree inspections and treatments, are crucial for protecting Denver's ash trees from this invasive pest.

Plant Health Care

Emerald ash borer (EAB) treatment and prevention is crucial for protecting Denver's ash trees. Early detection is key, as treatments are most effective when applied before significant damage occurs. Systemic insecticides, injected directly into the tree or applied to the soil, can provide protection for several years. However, not all ash trees are suitable candidates for treatment. Prevention measures include avoiding the transport of firewood, which can harbor EAB larvae, and regularly inspecting ash trees for signs of infestation. Working with a certified arborist can help homeowners and property managers develop a comprehensive EAB management plan.
