Protect Your Ash Trees with Certified EAB Treatment
For over a decade, we have been dedicated to preserving the natural environment of Minnesota. Our EAB treatment program is an essential part of our Plant Health Care services. We use professional-grade insecticides applied directly into the tree's vascular system, ensuring the chemical reaches the canopy where the borers feed. This targeted approach is superior to broad-spectrum spraying and is critical for success. We adhere to the highest industry standards for application and safety.
We are fully licensed and insured, providing you with complete assurance throughout the project. We want to prove that we are the best certified arborists for this vital service.
The Threat of Emerald Ash Borer to Twin Cities Trees
EAB is an aggressive, invasive wood-boring beetle that attacks and kills all North American species of Ash. Since its arrival in the Twin Cities, it has been responsible for the loss of countless trees, severely impacting both public and private landscapes.
Do not take chances with your Ash trees; our certified experts are here to help you mitigate this serious threat.
Rapid Deterioration: An Ash tree infested with EAB can die within two to four years, becoming brittle and highly hazardous.
Hidden Damage: The larvae feed on the inner bark, or phloem, cutting off the tree’s ability to transport water and nutrients, which is difficult to spot initially.
Property Risk: Dead or dying Ash trees can fail without warning, causing significant Storm Damage to homes, cars, or other structures.
Diagnostic Assessment:
A certified arborist inspects your Ash tree for the signs of EAB and assesses its overall health. We determine if the tree is a good candidate for treatment or if Tree Removal is necessary.
Systemic Injection:
We use specialized equipment to inject the protective treatment directly into the base of the trunk. This method is highly effective and minimizes environmental exposure.
Prevention Schedule:
EAB treatment is a multi-year commitment. We establish a clear, documented treatment schedule, typically requiring applications every two to three years, to maintain protection.
Post-Treatment Monitoring:
We continuously monitor your tree to ensure the treatment has taken effect and the tree's health is improving.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal
How much does it cost to treat an Ash tree for EAB?
The cost for Emerald Ash Borer Treatment varies greatly depending on the size (diameter) of the tree, but it is always significantly cheaper than the Tree Removal that follows an advanced infestation.
How often does an Ash tree need EAB treatment?
The most common and effective systemic treatments protect the tree for two to three years, meaning you need to schedule a treatment renewal on a regular cycle.
Are there any home remedies for EAB that I can use?
No, commercially available or home-based remedies are generally ineffective against the EAB. The treatment requires professional-grade, systemic insecticides administered by a certified arborist.
What are the visible signs that my Ash tree is infested with EAB?
Signs include thinning in the canopy, excessive woodpecker activity, suckering at the base of the tree, or small, D-shaped exit holes on the trunk or branches.
Will the EAB treatment affect other trees or plants on my property?
We use a systemic injection method that targets the tree itself, minimizing chemical exposure to the surrounding environment, a key benefit of professional application.
What is the recommended treatment for a severely infested Ash tree?
Once an Ash tree has significant canopy dieback (typically over 50%), it is usually too late for effective treatment, and Tree Removal is the recommended course of action.
Can you help me identify if I even have an Ash tree on my property?
Yes, our certified arborists can accurately identify your tree species as part of the initial assessment before recommending any Plant Health Care or treatment.
