Emerald Ash Borer Treatment in Fort Worth

Ash trees across Fort Worth are under constant threat of disease and pests. If you see thinning leaves or bark splitting, it could be emerald ash borers. Our ISA-certified arborists provide expert emerald ash borer treatment to stop the damage early. Schedule it before it's too late.

What You Should Know About Emerald Ash Borers

Emerald ash borers are not a looming threat to ash trees across Fort Worth. Since showing up in Texas around 2014, emerald ash borers have been spreading fast. These pests are small, but the damage they cause is massive.

The signs aren’t always obvious at first because these bugs destroy a tree from the inside out. You might see your ash tree losing leaves at the top or growing strange shoots from the trunk or base. Woodpeckers often show up too, as they’re digging for larvae inside the bark. Small D-shaped holes and bark splitting are also signs that your tree may need emerald ash borer treatment.

At Fort Worth Arborist Co., our ISA-certified team knows exactly what to look for. We’ll inspect your ash tree, confirm if it’s EAB, and create a customized ash borer treatment plan. Whether it’s one tree or several, we’ve got you covered.

Get Reliable Emerald Ash Borer Treatment Options

We start by inspecting your tree for damage, entry holes, and signs of EAB activity. If confirmed, we use professional emerald ash borer insecticide injections that work from the inside out.

Your options typically include:

  • Trunk Injection: This is the most direct and effective emerald ash borer cure. We inject insecticide straight into the trunk, where it moves up into the limbs and canopy. It’s perfect for trees in the early stages of infestation.
  • Soil Injection: We apply the insecticide into the soil near the roots. The tree pulls it up naturally. This is ideal for preventive care or mild infections when the tree can still transport nutrients to all of its branches.
  • Bark Spray: We spray the outer bark with insecticide to kill adult beetles as they chew or lay eggs. It works best when used with other treatments for added protection.
  • Canopy Spray: This method coats the leaves and branches with contact insecticide. It’s mainly used to target adult beetles feeding in the canopy, but it doesn’t last as long as injections.

If your tree is still in the early stages, we may be able to save it with a targeted treatment using ash borer insecticide. This stops the larvae before they destroy more of your tree. However, if the tree is too far gone, removal might be the only option.

When Does Your Ash Tree Need Treatment

Emerald ash borers attack trees from the inside. The adult beetle lays eggs in the bark, and when the larvae hatch, they tunnel through the wood and block the tree’s ability to move water and nutrients. The damage builds up quickly, and most trees die within a few years if not treated.

Watch for these signs:

  • D-shaped holes in the bark.
  • Thinning canopy or bare upper branches.
  • Bark splitting or flaking off.
  • New shoots growing from the trunk or base.
  • Increased woodpecker activity.
  • Cracks in the trunk or limbs.

If you spot any of these problems, your tree may already be in danger. Fort Worth Arborist Co. can inspect it and provide the right emerald ash borer treatment to stop further damage and give your tree a fighting chance.
