Many wood-boring insects are drawn to trees in your landscape that are already stressed or weakened. Theyโre often called secondary invaders because they target trees and plants that have lost their vitality.
Infestations by wood borers can go undetected until trees and plants start displaying visible signs of damage. They create distinctive irregular holes in their host plants, which can sometimes be mistaken for damage caused by woodpeckers. Thatโs why itโs essential to have a professional tree healthcare assessment before determining the appropriate treatment, such as wood borer treatment spray.
