Wood Boring Beetles
Borers typically attack stressed trees, adults lay eggs on or under the bark and the larvae feed on the wood further stressing the tree. The best defense against borers is to keep your trees healthy and unstressed. The most notable borer in our area is the Emerald Ash Borer. New systemic treatments can protect ash trees for two years.
