Arborjet

The Arborjet® system, an integrated pest management system providing micro-injectable nutrients, insecticides, and fungicides for trees; provides an effective and “green” way to deal with such insects as, the emerald ash borer, which has devastated ash trees in the region. By directly injecting the insecticide in the tree, instead of broadly spraying the chemicals on the tree, which can hurt the environment; 100 percent of the insecticide goes to the tree’s phloem. In the past, when using traditional spraying methods, only 10 percent of the needed treatment got to the tree’s affected areas. A percentage of these traditional methods leach into watershed.
