Injections
One option for specific insect control is injection. This is a great season long control method that works great on some insects, but will offer no control on others. The product is put into the soil around the tree, or directly into the tree, depending on the situation, allowing it to enter the tree and disperse throughout the branches to the insects feeding on it. This product does have a long protection period, protecting it for the whole growing season. Listed below are a few common trees injected and the insects feeding upon them. If you do have any questions on these injections, have one of Arborists come by to see if it will work.
