What Is the Emerald Ash Borer?

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive beetle responsible for killing millions of ash trees across Minnesota. Once infected, trees can die within a few years. That’s why early prevention is essential.

Imidacloprid: Affordable DIY Protection for Homeowners

At Martie’s in Elk River, we carry Imidacloprid, an easy-to-use insecticide that protects ash trees from EAB. No professional applicator needed — you can treat your trees yourself!

When to Apply:

For best results in Sherburne and Wright Counties, apply Imidacloprid in late April through early June, when your ash trees are actively absorbing nutrients.

How to Apply:

1. Measure the tree’s trunk diameter at chest height.
2. Mix the correct amount of Imidacloprid with water (based on label directions).
3. Slowly pour the solution at the base of the tree.
4. Water the area thoroughly after application.

This treatment is absorbed through the roots and protects the entire tree from internal Emerald Ash Borer larvae.
