What is the Emerald Ash Borer?

The emerald ash borer is a beetle about half an inch long with a metallic green color. Its underside is emerald green, and its head is flattened. The larva is white and measures about one inch long.

Originally from Asia, the emerald ash borer arrived in Canada through shipments containing ash wood. Still today, this insect can travel across the continent through nursery stock or firewood, among other materials.

Emerald ash borer infestations cause severe damage to ash trees. Unfortunately, this insect has no natural predators in our country and is extremely difficult to control.

If you suspect an infestation, contact us quickly, as infested ash trees generally die within two to three years, sometimes within a single year if the tree is heavily infested.

Tree Trimming for an Ash Tree Affected by the Emerald Ash Borer

If the emerald ash borer infestation on your ash tree is detected early enough, our arborists can slow its progression by performing meticulous tree trimming.

However, if half of the tree (or more) is already infested, the only solution is to proceed with tree removal and stump grinding.

During our visit, we will thoroughly examine your tree and cut the affected branches.

We will also inspect the other trees on your property to determine whether they are infested.

Tree Removal for an Ash tree Affected by Affected by the Emerald Ash Borer

If your tree is infested with the emerald ash borer, we unfortunately need to proceed with tree removal, as this insect can quickly spread to other ash trees.

You must obtain a permit from your municipality before contacting us for a tree removal. Many municipalities offer grants or financial assistance for removing an ash tree infested by the emerald ash borer.

How to Detect the Emerald Ash Borer?

The emerald ash borer is difficult to detect, and it is often more effective to look for the signs showing that the insects have already attacked the tree.

Remove a small piece of bark and check for brown, S-shaped lines measuring about 6 mm wide, these galleries are created by the larvae.

You may also notice small holes, yellowing leaves, and branch dieback.
