Insect Control for Invasive Species

Put Baker Tree Service LLC’s 100+ years of combined experience to the test for effective insect and disease control and management services. We cater to commercial and residential customers for native and non-native insect control, even offering 24/7 emergency services.

There are many insects that inhabit your trees. Some are harmful and some are beneficial. Knowing the difference is key. Identifying and treating insect infestations and related diseases early are essential for maintaining tree health. If you’re unsure if you have a problem, a certified arborist on our payroll will pay a visit and make a diagnosis. 

The most common harmful insects are the Emerald Ash Borer and the Asian Long Horned Beetle. We have environmentally friendly treatments that can save your tree from these invasive species. If you have an invasive insect problem or a fungal or bacterial infection in your trees, we have effective solutions. 

Invasive species are transported to our area through materials such as firewood, wood pallets, and raw logs. The first reported incident was near Detroit, MI in 2002. Since then, reports of the invasion have spread to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The insects kill healthy and struggling ash trees, so it is a huge threat to the local ash tree population. You can help decrease the spread by knowing what to look for in your firewood. Always buy local, burn local. Check for D-shaped exit holes in your ash trees or ash firewood to make sure you aren’t already infested or in contact with the infestation. 

We offer injection treatments that have been proven to provide the best results. If you aren't sure if you’re infested with the Emerald Ash Borer, have questions, or want a diagnosis, we can help you – and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
