Protect Your Hemlocks: Effective Trunk Spray Treatments to Combat Invasive Pests

Hemlocks are cherished trees found in many forests and landscapes, but they are under threat from invasive pests like the hemlock woolly adelgid and the elongate hemlock scale. At Mayer Tree Service, we understand the importance of safeguarding these magnificent trees. In this article, we discuss the use of dinotefron as an effective trunk spray treatment that could mean the difference between life and death for your hemlocks.

Why Trunk Spraying is Vital for Hemlocks

Our expert team, including our dedicated new tech Charlie, has been working diligently at state parks to protect hemlocks. With a focus on the western part of the state, we apply a systemic insecticide to the lower parts of the tree trunk to prevent deadly infestations.

Understanding the Threat

  • Hemlock Woolly Adelgid: Although less deadly than other pests, this insect can still significantly impact tree health if left untreated.
  • Elongate Hemlock Scale: This aggressive pest is a primary killer of native hemlocks and requires targeted treatment.

The Efficacy of Dinotefron

While several treatments can work against the hemlock woolly adelgid, dinotefron is the key to combating the elongate hemlock scale. This insecticide is applied directly to the trunk, penetrating to provide effective control against these invasive species.

The Application Process

Our process involves spraying the bottom four or five feet of the tree trunk. This approach ensures the systemic absorption of dinotefron, safeguarding the tree from pest damage.
