Emerald Ash Borer: How to Spot the Signs Before It's Too Late

Post Copy

If you have ash trees on your property in the Piedmont Triad, emerald ash borer (EAB) is a real threat. This invasive insect has devastated ash trees across North Carolina, and early detection is key to saving your trees. The telltale signs include D-shaped exit holes in the bark, serpentine galleries under the bark, and sudden crown dieback.

The best defense is a professional assessment. Our crew can identify early signs before serious damage occurs and discuss treatment or removal options based on your tree's health and location. Treating ash trees before they're heavily infested is far more cost-effective than dealing with a dead tree later.

Don't wait on this one. If you have ash trees, call Spartan Tree Service for a free inspection at (336) 497-6842. Have you noticed any ash trees in your area that look stressed or damaged? #TreeCare
