Emerald Ash Borer Injections:
EFFECTIVE TREE PROTECTION BY TREESOLVE
At TreeSolve, we understand the devastating impact of the emerald ash borer (EAB) on Winnipeg's ash trees. Our specialized emerald ash borer injection service is designed to protect your trees from this invasive pest and preserve the health and beauty of your landscape.
Understanding Emerald Ash Borer and Its Symptoms
The emerald ash borer is a destructive beetle that targets ash trees. EAB larvae live underneath the bark and feed on the tree's vascular tissues, creating galleries in the phloem, xylem, and vascular cambium. This girdles the tree, disrupting nutrient flow and eventually leading to the tree's death. Common symptoms of EAB infestation include:
- Canopy Dieback: Progressive death of the upper and outer tree branches.
- D-Shaped Exit Holes: Left by emerging adult beetles.
- Heavy Seed Crops: A stressed tree's response to infestation.
- Woodpecker Damage: Birds feed on EAB larvae, leaving noticeable damage.
- Vertical Cracks in Trunk: Due to callus tissue forming over larval galleries.
- Epicormic Sprouts: Shoots growing from the trunk below infected areas.
Effective Treatment with IMA-Jet Injections
To combat the emerald ash borer in Winnipeg, TreeSolve utilizes the proven efficacy of IMA-Jet micro-injections. IMA-Jet is the most effective treatment available for protecting ash trees from EAB.
Recommended Treatment Process:
- Assessment and Diagnosis
a. Our certified arborists conduct a thorough inspection to confirm EAB presence and assess the tree's health.
2. Micro-Injection with IMA-Jet
- For trees with less than 40% crown dieback, we recommend micro-injections with IMA-Jet. For optimal results, treatments should occur before any crown dieback is visible.
- The best time for treatment is during the growing season, from May to September, with spring being the most effective period. During this time, trees actively transpire, facilitating quick uptake of the insecticide.
- Dosage rates are carefully calculated based on the tree size to ensure maximum effectiveness.
3. Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance
- After treatment, our team will continue to monitor the tree's health and provide follow-up treatments as necessary. Regular monitoring helps in early detection of any new EAB activity.
