This beetle only attacks Ash Trees. Our Certified Arborist can determine if you have Ash trees in your yard at no cost to you. We can also provide cost effective solutions for dealing with this pest. The adult beetle does little harm to the tree. The larvae of the beetle cause damage by tunneling under the bark and disrupting the flow of water and nutrients in the tree.
An Ash tree will show signs of an invasion by thinning of the crown. That is, there will be fewer leaves than normal. Also, “D” shaped exit wounds on the trunk and epicormic water sprouts at the base of the trunk may be visible.
It has been proven to be more effective to pre-treat trees that are not yet infested than to try to treat after infestation has occurred. This is because the “plumbing” of the tree may be so damaged that no matter what product is used, the tree might not be able to take up the pesticide. Changes in the tree’s appearance may be so subtle that the tree may fall into the unsalvageable state before this beetle has been detected.
There are two products proven to be most effective in the treatment of Emerald Ash Borer. The first is Imidacloprid which can be soil drenched around the base of the tree or injected into the tree. University studies show that we get, on average, 70% or greater control using Imidacloprid. The second product is called Tree-Age or Emmamectin Benzoate. This product can only be injected into the tree. University studies indicate a 90% or better control when using Tree-Age.

 | | Protecting your trees from attack by insects or diseases typically requires some pesticide application through the course of the year.
If your trees are suffering but you’re not sure why, we can help. If pesticides are used correctly, you’ll see the maximum result with the least amount of pesticides applied. Let ArborX Tree Specialists help you determine what’s best for your trees!

 | | Quite simply, IPM considers everything from plant selection and integration, through environmental management to the ultimate question 'can we tolerate the effects of this pest without doing anything at all?'. If we can't, then what should we do? Obviously, often it is too late to consider plant selection; but we can influence and advise on maintenance and what if anything needs to be done as a control. We certainly do not want to kill every bug that comes near us or our plants. Many bugs are beneficial to us and even effectively control the ones that are less than beneficial. When control is necessary we will attempt to target only the particular pest we are confronted with and the control agent is not always chemical. Arborx Tree Specialists use the most up to date methods of treating pests.

 | | Arborx follows all the guidelines established by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). We also follow the pruning standards of the ANSI A300 pruning guidelines. Pruning is typically needed to remove unwanted deadwood in trees, thinning for air and light penetration and pruning away from homes or places of business. You should always seek the professional advice of a certified arborist before any branches are removed from your trees.
|
 | | Our mission is to save as many trees and keep them healthy for as long as possible, but as a last resort some trees ultimately need to be removed. Arborx is well equipped and trained to remove trees safely and efficiently while adhering to ANSI Z133.1 Arboricultural Safety Requirements. If you need a tree removed effectively and safely in Cincinnati, call Arborx today!

 | | Arborx offers stump grinding services to homeowners throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky who have had a tree removed recently and are now left with a ragged stump in their yard. This is a quick and easy solution to that eyesore in your landscape.
ArboRX offers stump grinding services in front yard locations or hard to access back yards. We can leave the resultant mulch where it falls or we can clean it up and restore the soil to its approximate original surface level if required. We also offer grass reseeding. Please contact us today for more information.

 | | Vertical mulching is used to alleviate compact soil within root zones of trees and to deliver food to the root system. Two inch diameter holes are drilled in the ground every 3 to 4 feet from close to the trunk to the drip line or ends of the branches. The holes are then back filled with micro nutrients and fertilizers. Mycorrhizae, a fungus that helps promote root growth, can also be added for maximum root health. Typically, trees that are drought stressed or invaded by pests are prime examples of trees that need proper root maintenance.
Please contact ArboRX today for more information on our vertical mulching service.
