Insect physical traits and damage patterns are the two types of signs that you should look for if you think you have an infestation. As a type of beetle, these insects have distinct patterns, although they’re only active for a short period of time.
Physical signs of an emerald ash borer infestation start with adult identification:
An emerald ash borer (EAB) also leaves a D-shaped exit hole that is about ⅛-inch in size and will be seen in your trees.
Ash trees with missing bark are the prime time for inspection and identification. You might see signs of tunneling or an S-shape pattern. Tunnels are also filled with fine sawdust.
The most common signs of emerald ash borer infestation appear gradually, as EAB “strangles” a tree from the inside out. These progression patterns give you insight into potential problems and include, but are not limited to:
As larvae feed on the upper branches, your canopy will begin to diminish. Look at the top of the tree and observe if it looks bare or if there are fewer leaves near the bottom. The whole canopy may die over 2 to 3 years.
EAB leaves a flat hole on one side and a curved one on the other when exiting wood. The hole will mimic a D-shape. Often, the exit hole is about ⅛” in size.
Woodpeckers eat larvae underneath the bark and are a sign that you may have an infestation. Look for light-tan patches along the trunk of the tree and along its main branches to see if woodpeckers have stripped away the bark.
EAB attacks cause trees to push out new growth faster, which means you’ll notice green leafy shoots near the base of the tree.
Examine the bark of the tree for 2-5 inch-long vertical cracks. You might even notice tunnels in the wood underneath.

I never thought I would use a lawn service because I love yard work and have a degree in horticulture/landscape design/turf grass management but…funny how life has a way of changing things while I made my plans! Due to health issues I asked CitiTurf to help me out and they accepted. I am so grateful they added me to their client roster because my turf now looks its best EVER.
— Grace B., Fairview, Texas
We signed up for CitiTurf after two neighbors recommended them, and we are quite happy we did so. They are friendly to speak with, take time to explain what they’re doing, and get everything done in a professional way. They are timely and prompt. A bit on the expensive side, but we are suckers for quality.
— Supreeth S., Sachse, Texas
This might be my 2nd review. But, wanted to give another shout-out to CitiTurf. I have used their services for past ~5 years and they never disappoint. My latest experience was for a bed cleanup and tree/shrub trim. The foreman was terrific…he walked the entire property with my wife to discuss what was needed. They did a great job and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves.
— Robb E., Allen, Texas
What a pleasure using Cititurf for my lawn care. I have such a beautiful yard all summer thanks to all the fall, winter and spring treatments you provide to make this happen. Everyone on your team is superb in every way. The crew who mows and takes care of the weekly schedule are absolutely the best of the best. I love seeing them every Thursday. I cannot thank you enough!!

Precision treatment times are crucial due to warm climate acceleration. The ideal period to stop emerald ash borer tree damage from escalating includes:
We may recommend trunk sprays in severe cases, which we also apply between May and early June.
ASAP. Emerald ash borer treatment may be applied as soon as this week, if our schedule allows. Otherwise, we’ll be out next week to assist you.
EAB is a serious threat to your trees, so proactive emerald ash borer control matters. Our targeted trunk injections offer two years of protection and peace of mind. Safe, effective treatment begins in late April or early May.
