Emerald Ash Borer Treatment
As a Board Certified Master Arborist, I have successfully treated ash trees since 2002. During this time I have treated more ash trees and have more alive today than any other arborist in America. Part of my treatment process utilizes the “Wedgle” Direct-Inject System, pictured on the left, from Arbor Systems. It is the ONLY “no-drill” tree injection system on the market!

Guaranteed treatment since 2004!
Since 2002, I have been telling everyone that Imidicloprid would work to prevent the Emerald Ash Borer. Then in January of 2004, I started offering a 100% Money back guarantee as evidenced by an article written at the time in the Detroit Free Press by Staff Writer Marty Hair. Even in the beginning, when there was no scientific evidence yet available, I was steadfast in my belief that this preventative program would work. I had confidence in this treatment because I was seeing first-hand results! While leading efforts to save the ash trees, I sat on the Emerald Ash Borer Committee for the Michigan Green Industry Association (MGIA). Combining my efforts with those of other leading arborists on the committee allowed the MGIA to be successful in spreading the word to homeowners that treatment options were available.
Treatments involve the tree being injected with “Pointer” insecticide with the Wedgle tree injection system. The active ingredient is Imidicloprid. In addition to this trunk injection, trees will need a soil injection with Imidicloprid and various fertilizers and bio-root stimulants to keep the tree as healthy as possible.
As a Board Certified Master Arborist, I also specialize in other tree problems:
- Sycamore Anthracnose
- Diplodia Tip Blight of pines
- Dutch Elm Disease
- Oak Wilt Disease

I have an ash tree in my yard which was planted 17 years ago. At that time I was told it was a “Purple mountain ash” which is not a true ash.
I am not sure it is a mountain ash because it is larger than the description of mountain ashes.
Are mountain ashes susceptible to emerald ash borer?
It is true that Mountain Ash (Sorbus acuparia) is not an ash tree at all and not affected by the emerald ash borer. The problem is the nursery industry sometimes uses incorrect common names for what they sell. This also varies by region of the country. Your “Purple mountain ash” is most likely an “Autumn Purple Ash” (Fraxinus americana “Autumn Purple”). As such it ABSOLUTELY is susceptible to the emerald ash borer and needs to be treated. The true “Mountain ash” is a smaller (15-18ft max) ornamental tree with orange berries.
We had an ash tree that recently died, and after looking at your pictures I was wondering what genus a “Texas” ash is. Also, could other borers cause the same symptoms as the ash trees in your pictures? We live in Texas and really miss our once beautiful maybe 30 feet tall Texas ash. We bought the tree in 1999 from a reputable nursery as a “Texas” ash, and it grew so well until 2008 when some of it did not leaf out in the spring, and so it continued until this year it tried to leaf on the lower large branches, but pretty soon all the leaves were gone. It is probably our fault for not treating it for borers in general, but it is a major loss to our front yard.
I am happy when I see your way control the tree from insects. I also hope to use it to control my durian garden. Could you send me one for trying!!!!!!I am looking forwadfrom you!! Thank you very much for your reading!
