Deadly Pitch Mass Borers Exterminated by Giroud

Pitch Mass Borers are lethal insects that infest Spruce, Fir, and Pine trees. These little caterpillar-like creatures burrow deep into the heartwood to feed on sap. As these borers hijack the tree’s nutrient-rich sap, the tree will weaken and eventually die.

But fear not! Follow these 3 easy steps to destroy an infestation:

1. Call Giroud if you see a reddish brown ball of sap forming on your tree.
2. Manually kill the Pitch Mass Borer larva burrowed in the tree.
3. Keep your tree fertilized so it can maintain its health as it heals.
