Have you ever noticed how quickly a beautiful Birch, Greeni Ash or Lilac can sicken and die? Borers have kifled it. B<rers are very destruc- tive insects. The beetie lays eggs in the crevices uf the bark usually where the su n- light strikes. The larvae bure into the bark and feed just under the bark during the summer. Usually a top branch is killed first but a single burer can girdle and kili a tree if it attacks the trunk. Borers attack weak trees. Healthy trees are quite res- istant to the insect. You should, theretèore, caretully watch and apply prutective sprays tu any tree that has been weakened by druught or lack of fertilizer. Once a borer bas found a tree other borers soon attack and kilt the tree unless sprays are applied. applied to the bark of the trunk and upper branches will prevent borer attack. Spray timing will vary. For instance, Locust Borers are controlled in late August plus two sprays in Sept- ember. ination to help you cointrol insects and make growing things a pleasure, write to "Watt's Up", 6860 Century Ave., Mississauga, Ont., L5N MW.
