Emerald Ash Borer Treatment & Borer Prevention in Utah

Borers are among the most destructive insects affecting landscape trees, and the greatest emerging threat to Utah’s ash trees is the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). This invasive insect has killed tens of millions of ash trees across North America and continues to spread west. While Emerald Ash Borer has not yet been confirmed in Utah, it is established in neighboring Colorado, making proactive treatment the best way to protect valuable ash trees before an infestation occurs.
