Signs of Insect Infestation
Shade, privacy, curb appeal…having a tree on your property has its benefits but when the tree’s health begins to decline, it becomes attractive to insects and pests. Insects like wood-boring beetles, termites, and carpenter ants are attracted to weakened, damaged, dying or dead plants and trees.
It can be hard to tell whether a tree is infested unless it shows external signs of damage:
- Thinning leaves or needles/stunted leaf growth
- Chewed foliage
- Discoloration of needles or leaves
- White spots on leaves
- Stunted branch growth
- Holes or loose bark on the trunk
- Frass or sawdust
- Lifting roots
