When You Need Cottonwood Borer Treatment

If you have noticed an extensive amount of holes in your tree trunks, it’s important to get into contact with our professionals now. Our arborists are experts in assessing and managing the health of a wide variety of trees, so we are able to tell if we are able to save your tree. If there are only a few holes in your cottonwood, willow, or poplar tree, our primary goal will be to keep the tree as healthy as possible. Because cottonwood borers invade already weakened trees, the best solution is to reverse any of the damage that has been done by sunscald, bird damage, or pruning wounds. Our best line of defense in this situation is to use fertilizer, mulch, and water to keep the tree healthy so that other cottonwood borers do not attack the tree. We will also use chemical treatments to prevent any cottonwood borers from infesting your trees in the future.

Unfortunately, if there are several holes along the branches and trunks of the tree, our arborists will more than likely recommend that the tree is removed and replaced with a new, healthy tree. Using any kind of chemical control is pointless as the tree is way beyond saving once the tree is too damaged by cottonwood borers.
