With the serious pest – Emerald Ash Borer – now present in the State of Minnesota, people will be interested in ways to protect their trees. A once a year soil drench of a solution containing Imidacloprid will prevent the Emerald Ash Borer from doing significant damage. Application is extremely easy for homeowners, and quite affordable. No spraying, no injecting. Simply mix with water and pour it on the ground around the tree. Tree roots suck up the solution and carry it throughout the vascular system of the tree. Time required – 2 minutes one time per year. Expense – $5 to $25 per tree, per year depending on the size of the tree. This insecticide is very localized and not broadcast indiscriminately. We have these products available for sale at the nursery.
