INSECT INFESTATIONS


PREVENT, SAVE, OR REMOVE



Different insect infestations can damage trees in different ways. There are bark
or trunk-invading insects such as borers and there are leaf-feeding insects such
as the Japanese Beetle. Some damage can happen in a short amount of time & may
be irreversible if not dealt with quickly. If you discover damage, it is crucial
to have an ISA-certified arborist identify the type of insect infestation,
assess the damage, and determine the best course of action.

The question is, was this infestation caught early enough or is it too late to
save the tree, and tree removal is necessary?


PREVENTATIVE OPTIONS

Trees flourish when monitored and properly maintained. Tree inspections for
insects, diseases, and weak or damaged limbs should be conducted regularly. 

We offer trunk and soil injections, as well as pesticide applications such as
fungicides and insecticides. So, whether you want to try to prevent insect
infestations and diseases, or want to save a tree already infected, call us so
we can have one of our tree health experts diagnose your trees and start
treatment, hopefully before it is too late. 


COMMON TYPES OF INSECT INFESTATIONS AND DAMAGE





EMERALD ASH BORER (EAB)

The Emerald Ash Borer is a destructive insect that targets ash trees.
Originating from Asia, this invasive pest has caused significant damage to ash
tree populations across Wisconsin. The EAB larvae tunnel under the bark,
disrupting the tree’s ability to transport water and nutrients, eventually
leading to the tree’s decline.

Signs of EAB infestation include thinning foliage, D-shaped exit holes on the
bark, and the presence of serpentine galleries under the bark.




BRONZE BIRCH BORER (BBB)

The Bronze Birch Borer is a destructive pest that attacks various species of
birch trees in Wisconsin. The larvae of this beetle bore into the wood,
disrupting the tree’s vascular system and leading to branch dieback. Timely
intervention is crucial to protect birch trees from further damage.

Signs of BBB infestation include D-shaped exit holes, yellowing or browning
foliage, and the presence of woodpecker activity. 




IPS BEETLE

IPS beetles are attracted to weakened or stressed white pine trees. Factors such
as drought, disease, and overcrowding can make these trees vulnerable. The
beetles burrow into the tree’s inner bark to create tunnels, where they lay
their eggs. As their larvae hatch and feed on the inner tissues, they disrupt
the tree’s nutrient and water transport systems, causing damage and eventual
tree death if left untreated.

Insecticides are applied to the tree’s bark or injected directly into the trunk.
This treatment targets both adult beetles and their larvae within the tree.




JAPANESE BEETLE

The Japanese Beetle is another common insect pest in Wisconsin. These Beetles
can defoliate entire trees, causing severe stress and weakening their overall
health. Taking timely action to control Japanese Beetle populations is crucial
to prevent further damage. Japanese Beetle infestations often result in reduced
foliage.

Through preventative measures, Japanese Beetle populations can be effectively
reduced or eliminated, leaving your trees protected from these damages. It is
important to talk with professional arborists about options for effective
treatment plans.




LINDEN BORER

Linden Borer Beetles are small but mighty insects that target Basswood, Linden,
Poplar Trees. These beetles bore through the bark and lay their eggs. It is the
larval stage when these beetles do most of their damage. The feeding larva
disrupts the flow of nutrients and water, causing the foliage and branches to
die back. The first signs of a Linden Borer infestation may include loose and
bulging bark where the larva are feeding. Early detection and appropriate
management strategies are essential to protect your trees from extensive damage.




APHIDS

Aphids are a common nuisance in Wisconsin. These insects feed on tree foliage,
causing defoliation. Taking proactive measures to control their population can
help minimize the impact on your trees.

The presence of Aphids cause holes in the leaves of your trees as they feed on
the foliage. This limits your trees ability to generate photo-synthesis, which
is necessary for the health of your trees and the overall health of the
environment.




GYPSY (SPONGY) MOTH

Gypsy Moths infest and damage Oak trees primarily during their caterpillar
stage. These caterpillars have voracious appetites and prefer feasting on Oak
leaves. This constant munching can severely stress and weaken Oak trees, making
them more susceptible to other diseases and pests.

Horticultural oil is a natural and eco-friendly solution. when applied to the
trunks and branches of your Oak trees, it creates a barrier that suffocates the
Gypsy Moth eggs, preventing them from hatching. Insecticides disrupt the life
cycle of Gypsy Moths by killing them in various stages – from egg to caterpillar
to adult. 




SCALE INSECTS

Scale insects are tiny, sap-feeding insects that can wreak havoc on your
Magnolia trees. They attach themselves to the branches and leaves, appearing as
small, raised bumps. 

As they feed on sap, they reduce the tree’s ability to transport nutrients,
leading to weakened growth and overall decline. They also excrete a sugary
substance called honeydew, which can attract harmful fungi.

Horticultural oil is used to smother the insects, disrupting their life cycle,
and preventing them from feeding on your trees. Insecticides can be applied to
eliminate existing infestations and deter future ones. 




ZIMMERMAN PINE MOTH

The Zimmerman Pine Moth is a notorious pest in Wisconsin. These small moths lay
their eggs in the bark crevices of Austrian pine trees, typically during the
warmer months. The larvae hatch and tunnel beneath the bark, causing significant
damage.

Austrian pine trees are particularly vulnerable to Zimmerman Pine Moths due to
their attractive resin content. The moth larvae feed on the tree’s inner bark,
disrupting nutrient flow and making it vulnerable to the fungal infection,
Diplodia Tip Blight.

Treating with specialized fungicides reduces its ability to spread within the
tree. Insecticides are applied to target the moths and disrupt their lifecycle,
reducing the chances of reinfestation.




MITES

Mites are a destructive pest that attacks various species of trees in Wisconsin.
They infest and destroy foliage, bark, and the core of trees. Timely
intervention is crucial to protect your trees from further damage.

Signs of a mite infestation can include spotted leaves, yellowing or browning
foliage, and spotted bark.


PREVENTING TREE INSECT INFESTATIONS ON YOUR PROPERTY IN WISCONSIN





REGULAR TREE INSPECTIONS

Regular tree inspections play a crucial role in identifying early signs of
insect infestations. We recommend conducting thorough inspections of your trees
at least once a year, preferably in the spring or fall. Look for any visible
signs of damage, such as holes in the trunk, chewed leaves, or the presence of
larvae. If you notice any suspicious signs, it’s best to consult a professional
arborist who can assess the situation and provide appropriate treatment
options. 

You can also schedule to have on of our ISA-certified experts do an inspection
for you and diagnose any findings on the spot, giving you the best chance of
catching problems early as well as coming up with a preventative gameplan base
on your trees.




MAINTAIN TREE HEALTH

Keeping your trees healthy is key to preventing insect infestations. Strong and
healthy trees have a better defense against pests. Ensure your trees receive
adequate water, nutrition, and pruning. Pruning helps remove dead or diseased
branches that may attract insects. Additionally, avoid excessive mulching around
the base of the trees, as it can create a favorable environment for pests. 

Be sure to have a professional tree expert handle your tree pruning needs. A
trained & certified expert with years of experience is more likely to find
troubled limbs, essentially removing unnecessary risk of infestation or disease.




INSECT CONTROL TREATMENTS

In certain cases, preventive pest control treatments may be necessary to
safeguard your trees. There are also treatments that promote tree health.
Organic or chemical treatments can help improve tree health and control or
prevent insect infestations.

We strongly recommend consulting with an experienced tree care expert to handle
applying any treatments. They will assess the health of your tree, the risk of
infestation and recommend the most effective and environmentally friendly
options available. 




EARLY INTERVENTION

If you spot any signs of tree insect infestations on your property, it’s crucial
to act promptly. Contact a reputable tree care service like ours, specializing
in insect control, for a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment. Early
intervention can prevent further damage and help preserve the health and beauty
of your trees.
