Your yard and all the wonderful trees and plants within it are vulnerable to an entire variety of threats. Some of the peskiest and most destructive yard threats are tree pests. Tree pests are numerous in their kind and are an active nuisance all year-round. If left untreated, the extensive harm caused to your trees might make it difficult to save them. If you notice any signs of a tree pest infestation, make sure you call a tree pest control company immediately. This will keep your trees safe.
Hiring a service for tree pest control in Minneapolis, MN, or St. Paul, MN, is truly worth the effort! Aside from being professionally trained in the science of maintaining the health of your trees and being certified experts, the job carries its risks.

Coupled with our trained team and service delivery professionals, we are eager to help you with eradicating tree pests common to the Twin Cities area, such as the Emerald Ash Borer and the Japanese Beetle.
Our Tree Pest Control Services
Birch Tree Care provides pest control treatments for Emerald Ash Borer and Japanese Beetles affecting a large variety of trees, plants, and shrubs. Additionally, we provide Tree & Shrub Fertilization treatments that help aid in the defense against pest infestations.
Emerald Ash Borer
Emerald Ash Borer infestations have devastated ash tree populations in Minnesota. If your leaves are losing color, have a thinning crown, woodpecker holes, or splits in the bark, it’s time to protect your trees from the pest. If Emerald Ash Borer is in your area, act proactively and contact our professional arborists for preventative treatment. These treatments include soil injections, trunk injections, or complete removal.
Japanese Beetle
Both as grubs (the larval stage) and adults, Japanese Beetles are damaging plant pests. There are a lot of different ways to prevent Japanese Beetle damage and to treat your plants and trees. Lawn applications can be done in early spring or summer to kill the grub or larvae. Another method is a fungal spray applied directly to the tree or plant, while other situations call for Japanese Beetle traps.
Tree and Shrub Fertilization
Fertilization is vital to keeping your trees and shrubs healthy and beautiful. Well-nourished trees and shrubs are also more resilient against disease and insect infestations. Ask about our deep root fertilization and other fertilization options for trees.
At Birch Tree Care, we’ll help your trees and shrubs thrive and flourish all year round. We have a deep knowledge of the science and the best practices to treat tree pest infestations such as Emerald Ash Borer and Japanese Beetles.
