Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 23, 2015

After killing over 50 million Ash trees across 25 states, Emerald Ash Borer is making its presence known in the Philadelphia region according to Giroud Tree and Lawn. Ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer, decline quickly and usually die within 3-5 years depending on size. Treatment is the only way to save Ash Trees from this 100% fatal pest.

"Over the past 12 years, government and university researchers have extensively studied Emerald Ash Borer and how to control it," says Lou Giroud, ISA Certified Arborist and President of Giroud Tree and Lawn, a tree service company. Research has proven that biannual trunk injections of TREE-age, Emamectin benzoate, provide the best control against Emerald Ash Borer.

Considered the most destructive forest pest ever seen in North America according to EmeraldAshBorer.info, Emerald Ash Borer kill Ash Trees when the larvae tunnel beneath the bark, stop food and water movement and starve the tree to death.
