We have a fairly young hybrid locust tree in the front yard and when one of the limbs broke, I noticed there was a borer grub inside. I have since used some of the Beyer tree fertilizer/pesticide in a ring around the tree which dramatically increased the growth of the tree this summer. I don't believe it did anything to kill the borers though. What should I be using to treat the tree to take care of those darn bugs?

Help Support Arborist Forum:
Keep the tree healthy and happy. In most cases, borers are not the primary cause of tree death, they are secondary. I'm not a big fan of chemical control, too much time and money to control something year after year.
Was the branch that broke already dead?
