Pine Beetle Treatment
Preventive and curative treatments to stop pine beetles before they kill your trees.
Pine beetles are a real problem in Montgomery. They tunnel under the bark, cut off water and nutrients, and kill trees fast once they're established. We inspect your pines, identify beetle activity, and treat with targeted insecticide applications. If we catch it early, we can save the tree. If it's too far gone, we remove it before beetles spread to your neighbors' property.
Spring and early summer are peak beetle season here in Texas. That's when we do most of our preventive sprays on high-value pines. We use both trunk injections for individual trees and broadcast spraying for groups. The treatment takes a few hours depending on tree size and how many you have. You'll see results within weeks as beetles stop reproducing.
You get a clear report of which trees are at risk and which ones we treated. We'll schedule follow-up inspections in late summer to make sure the treatment held. Most customers see their pines stay healthy and green through the season without losing branches or bark.
About pine beetle treatment
How do I know if my pine trees have beetles?
Look for small holes in the bark, reddish-brown dust at the base, or yellowing needles. We can confirm it during a free inspection. Early signs are easy to spot if you know what to look for.
Can you save a tree that's already heavily infested?
If the beetles have girdled the tree, it's usually too late. We focus on prevention and early treatment. Once a tree is dying, we remove it to keep beetles from spreading to healthy trees nearby.
How long does the treatment last?
Most treatments protect your trees for one growing season. We recommend annual inspections in spring so we can treat again if needed before beetles become active.
