Question Re: How to treat maple borers?

Fine thanks, just trying to figure out how this site works. I am hoping that someone out there knows how to treat maple borers which are killing our prime mature trees. Help please!

Default Re: How to treat maple borers?

What most folks neglect to tell you is that borers attack unhealthy trees.

Solve the health or stress issues and the borers leave the tree alone.

Treating the insects without treating the cause is costly and in the end, pointless.
