Buy Do It Yourself Borers Control, Professional Grade Borers Killer Spray

Borers are the most damaging insects you will come across with regards to trees. These insects include the larval stage of numerous types of wasps and beetles and can be flat headed or round headed and look like skinny grubs. Borer is a fairly generic term that refers to these larval stages which bore through bark and into trees. While insects that defoliate trees can be harmful and quickly strip all leaf tissue (like tent caterpillars), many trees are able to push out new leaves mid-season or the next year and make a full recovery. Borers on the other hand eat away at the cambium layer underneath the bark, where all nutrients in a tree are translocated. Because borers feed on the inside of the tree, many times by the time a borer infestation is diagnosed the tree may already be too damaged to save. In the United States the Emerald Ash Borer and Asiatic Longhorned Beetle are both invasive species of boring insects that have decimated entire tree populations in places like St Louis, MO, and Worchester, MA. Prevention from borers is recommended through the use of systemic insecticides, because treating insect protected by bark on a curative basis can be very difficult. Curative sprays can be used when infestations of borers like Peach borers, Bronze Birch Borers, Mountain Pine Beetles, and similar insects are diagnosed, but results can be limited based on how much damage has occurred. When it comes to trees infested by the Emerald Ash Borer or Asiatic Longhorned Beetle, often times the tree must be cut down, chipped, and burned in the effort to stop the spread of these very harmful species. Because of this, the preventative treatment of susceptible trees with systemic insecticides is highly recommended. When looking for how to prevent borer damage or treat an infestation, professional grade insecticides are your only option to get successful treatment of these incredibly harmful pests when you do your own pest control.
