Emerald Ash Borer Treatment

Protecting Missouri's Ash Trees

Treatment Against the Emerald Ash Borer

It is possible to treat - and save - an ash tree from the EAB! Our process includes injecting a chemical (Emamectin Benzoate) directly into the tree trunk, which is effective for two years before needing re-application.

EAB Management Guide for Homeowners

The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a serious threat to ash trees in Missouri. This invasive pest will eventually kill unprotected ash trees. Many trees can be saved with the careful use of systemic insecticides. However, not all ash trees should be treated, and for many locations the start of treatments should be delayed. This guide will assist you in making decisions about protecting your trees from this invasive pest.
