Emerald Ash Borer Prevention, Identification, and Treatment

Emerald ash borers are destructive and invasive insects that can destroy ash trees. These bugs lay eggs in ash tree bark, and once the eggs hatch the larvae burrow through the tree to feed. If left untreated, emerald ash borers will eat their way through the ash tree's circulatory system that transports food and water. This stops eaten bark from growing back, and within only 2-5 years of infestation, ash trees will die.

​

The professional arborists at Glacial Lakes Tree Service can inspect your Brookings, South Dakota property for ash trees. Once identified, our tree specialists can identify whether the ash trees have been infested by emerald ash borers. If your trees are safe, our experienced tree experts will suggest preventive injections to ensure emerald ash borers can't lay their eggs in your trees. If there are signs of emerald ash borers, Glacial Lakes Tree Service can inject your ash trees with the appropriate treatment.

​

If you own ash trees, do not hesitate. Contact Glacial Lakes Tree Service today to schedule a tree inspection and preventive or treatment injections.
