Why Treat For Emerald Ash Borers In Naperville

The question arises on when to treat ash trees for Emerald Ash Borers in the Chicagoland area. In the State of Michigan when they observed the first appearance of infected ash trees, they found out that the borers had been in these trees for over 2 years. Actually, these ash borers started their destruction in the tops of trees working themselves down close to the ground until tree owners then detected them at near ground level which at this stage of infection, it was way too late to save them. With this terrible internal damage going on for 2 years and death signals appearing on the ash trees, all they could do was to just cut millions of them down.

Now, if we all can learn the lesson from the State of Michigan it would be to treat your ash tree or trees right now, as of this September over 100 Chicago area communities area have had outbreaks of ash borers already in 2010. Current studies (2010) are showing that summer and fall treatments are excellent times to treat ash trees with Arborjet's tree trunk injection method. A key point to this action is that if your tree has ash borers in it, TREE-age will stop them right now as opposed to having them chew away until the upcoming 2011 springtime.

If your trees are infected with these Emerald Ash Borers, right now (October 2010 ) the insecticide TREE-age will treat these insects for 2 years and the results will be a insect free ash tree and trees with a bright healthy future. If your tree or trees are treated with TREE-age you can rest easy for 2 years, knowing that your efforts have saved them from being infested with ash borers and not scheduled to be cut down.

TREE-age Current Research: A new product that is effective for 2 years or even longer has altered the economics of treating ash trees. TREE-age (emamectin benzoate) is the only product tested to date that controls EAB for more than one year with a single application. It also provided a higher level of control than other products in side-by-side studies. "Research Report, June 2009, from OSU, Michigan State, Michigan, Purdue and Illinois Universities".

City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin: In May of 2009, Milwaukee started to inject TREE-age into 18,000 ash trees in the city. This was an effort to save the ash trees from borer damage plus not having to cut them down and then replace all of these trees with another species of tree.

TREE-age is injected into your tree or trees and it stays right in the tree. Many other products are soil injected thus polluting our precious soil and water with dangerous insecticides.

Thanks for looking and I'll take good care of your ash trees.
