Tree Injection Treatments

Protect your pine trees from deadly Pine Wilt

What is Pine Wilt?

Have you noticed pine trees with pine needles that start to turn brown and quickly spread throughout the tree, eventually killing it? Pine Wilt is a fatal disease that attacks a variety of pines, most notably Scots Pines, and is prevalent in the central U.S.

Pine Wilt is caused by beetles feeding on pines. Once infected, pine needles start to turn brown, quickly spreading and eventually killing the tree within a few weeks or months. If infected trees aren’t removed from your property properly, the disease can quickly spread from tree to tree.

Once a tree is infected, it cannot be saved and there is no cure for Pine Wilt. But Steve’s Service in Unadilla, NE, offers a solution to protect your pine trees from Pine Wilt.

Preventative Pine Wilt Tree-Injection

Steve Schutz of Steve’s Service is a licensed arborist and a member of the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum. Steve is trained to safely perform tree injections using Greyhoud Insecticide, a proven Pine Wilt prevention tactic that can reduce the risk of Pine Wilt on healthy trees for up to three years.

  • Pines injected with insecticide outlive non-treated trees by 300%

  • No-drill method protects trees from more damage

  • Up to 3 years of Pine Wilt prevention

The great part about using this process is that it’s a no-drill injection solution so not only does it reduce the risk of Pine Wilt, it further protects the tree from damage associated with drilling methods. In a study done on pine trees across the state of Nebraska over a 5-year period, results showed that the survival rate of trees injected with this treatment outlived non-treated trees by 300%.

In order to achieve these results, Greyhound Insecticide must be used as a preventative measure and applied by a professional arborist before any sign of disease or insect activity has taken place. So don’t delay and give us a call today.

Care of Dead Trees

To maintain the health of pine trees on your property, it’s vital to tend to diseased or dead trees that can’t be saved by injection. Diseased trees can spread quickly to other trees and if trees infected with Pine Wilt are cut down and not disposed of properly, that can lead to a reemergence of beetles and new infections on surrounding trees. Steve’s Service offers tree removal and stump grinding to take care of any dead trees on your property to protect healthy trees.
