Types of Borers
The Southeastern United States is home to various types of borers, insect pests that bore into trees and woody plants, causing damage to forests and ornamental trees. Among them, the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) poses a threat to ash trees, while the southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis) targets pine trees, contributing to forest health issues. The peachtree borer (Synanthedon exitiosa) affects fruit trees, and the oak twig pruner (Anelaphus villosus) can impact oak trees. These borers can weaken trees, leading to a decline in health and structural integrity. Windward Pest Services is equipped to identify and address infestations of these and other borers in the Southeast, providing effective solutions to mitigate their impact on both natural and cultivated landscapes.
