Gregalls Tree Service, your trusted partner in Baton Rouge, Zachary, St. Francisville, and nearby areas, addresses the menace of tree borers and wood-boring insects. These destructive larvae infiltrate tree bark, trunks, and branches, causing severe internal damage by laying eggs and feeding inside roots. Their tunneling activities beneath the bark compromise the tree's water and nutrient transport, posing a significant threat to the host plant's survival. #TreeBorers #BatonRougeTreeCare Certain borerstarget specific host plants, while others can infest a variety of tree species. It's crucial to recognize that healthy trees are less susceptible, with most infestations occurring in already stressed trees, such as those in poor soil conditions or facing extreme weather. Recently transplanted young plants are also prime targets. Ensure tree health by fertilizing based on soil analysis and providing adequate water during dry periods. Detecting a tree borer infestation early is challenging, as the pests bore inside, causing internal injuries. As infestation progresses, visible signs include exit holes in the trunk or branches, leaf loss, and the presence of sawdust-like debris known as frass. Protect your trees from these destructive pests by partnering with Gregalls Tree Service for expert tree care and proactive measures.
