Treating Sick Trees

When it comes to tree care, pests can be a huge issue and cause lots of damage to the tree itself and other structures or property around it. Dealing with these pests is not always an easy thing to do, there are many options such as spraying but spraying is sometimes not an option. One great option is tree injections which is the perfect way getting rid of pests inside and outside up trees.

Injection vs Spray

Although spraying trees is not very difficult when it comes to smaller trees, it is very difficult when it comes to larger trees. Some of the issues include the pesticide drifting to other properties and harming the environment. The chemicals in the pesticide can cause a lot of damage when it comes to sprays. That is why we suggest using injections for a more direct and controlled way of dealing with chess in trees.

Why Injections are better

Injections are very helpful for the trees; they can get rid of the pests effectively and quickly. Tree injections also last way longer than typical sprays; they also do not have an environmental impact compared to sprays that can travel large areas. Tree injections are mainly meant to treat the emerald ash borer beetle. This beetle is an invasive species and infests ash trees laying its eggs on its bark and the larvae digging into the tree and eating the tree from the inside out.  Tree injections can prevent this from happening to ash trees and can protect trees for over 2 years. It is best that you get  a professional to administer injections to your trees for maximum efficiency and coverage.

Does it hurt the tree?

Injections into the trunk can cause some damage but with recent technology it is very minimal and the amount of chemicals needed to treat the pest is also minimal. Our professionals have the knowledge and understanding on how to care for trees and prevent the potential for anything harmful to happen to the other tree. One other suggestion we do have is soil injections as well.

Soil Injections?

When it comes to soil injections is done obviously in the soil around the base of the tree next to the trunk instead of the trunk itself. By doing this you do not damage the tree and it is still effective towards many different types of  pests. This usually is focused towards passing around the root section of the tree. Both injections in the tree and in the soil are fantastic ways of protecting your tree for a significant amount of time compared to spraying.  Another benefit is it takes less time for these treatments to take effect and it  is better for the environment as well.
