My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Tiny white bugs, peeling bark.

14 years ago

So, bark is still peeling off of my maple. Extension Agent says it's a borer, but today when I peeled off some rotten wood--tiny white/gray bugs scurried away.

I have been googling for an hour, can't find anything similar...any ideas/??

I think my tree is toast.
