Five Star Tree Care
There are many different borer insects around the world that come in many different sizes and colors. But one thing they all have in common is the danger they pose to trees. These insects tunnel their way deep into trees and feed on the heartwood. Symptoms of infestation differ depending on the type of borer insect, but you can usually tell by the holes left behind in the bark. You may also notice sap or sawdust gathered around the tree or even sudden discoloration of the leaves. If left untreated, borers can kill the tree. Five Star Tree Services has put together a simple guide that will help you identify infestations so they can be treated ASAP.
4 Common Borer Species
We are going to go over four of the most common wood boring insects that attack a wide variety of tree species in a range of climates. Many native borer insects will seek out already sick trees or trees under stress as opposed to strong healthy ones. But, even healthy trees are susceptible to infestation, especially from non-native borers.
Locust Borer
This type or borer attacks black locust trees; other types of locust trees are not in danger. They can be found in any place that black locust trees grow.
Symptoms of an LB infestation are mainly localized swollen areas on the trunk or branches. These areas will look like a full knot. Other common signs are broken branches, thinness along the crown, and holes in the bark accompanied by sawdust. If you happen to see any of these signs, give our team of arborists a call as soon as possible. These borers weaken branches so that they break, which poses an additional hazard to your property and family.
Emerald Ash Borer
This type of borer usually feeds on ash trees but can also be found in rare cases in other types. They are commonly found in over states in the US but can be found in any location where ash trees grow.
Symptoms of an EAB infestation are easy to spot. In the early stages, trees will exhibit cracks along the main branches of the canopy. As the stages progress, these cracks will turn into slits and holes that look like a “D” on the bark. The canopy of the tree will also start to think as the tree progresses towards failure. As soon as you notice any of these signs, you should contact an arborist as soon as possible. Treatment is more effective when applied early on in an infestation.
Bronze Birch Borer
This species usually attacks grey birch, paper birch, and yellow birch trees. Though they mostly attack stressed or sick trees, but again even healthy birch trees can become infested. River birch thankfully is not susceptible to this particular borer. They are found in any place white bark birch trees grow.
Common signs of BBB infestations are winding tunnels along the out layer of the tree bark. They look bumpy or wrinkled. In some cases, you may also notice “D” shaped holes along the bark or leaves they have lost their color. Another common symptom is thinning along the crown and top of the tree. If found early enough, our professional arborists can apply an insecticide treatment and save the tree.
Longhorned Beetles
This species attacks a wide assortment of trees but tends to only attack those which are under a high amount of stress. They are found all over the world and are not specific to any one area.
Common signs that an LB infestation is present is sawdust under the tree, round holes, and discolored leaves. It is important to contact a specialist as soon as you notice any signs of infestation. Quick action is key to slowing and defeating these harmful insects.

Inspired Closets Baton Rouge
You open your kitchen cabinet. It's a mess. An endless abyss.
You're looking for olive oil to sauté delicious garlic and onions for dinner.
You know you have it. Where could it be?
Cooking your favorite family meal can take longer than the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade without organization to find what you need.
That's what happened each & every time one of our recent Baton Rouge clients, Jan, tried to cook a meal in her home.
Searching For A Pantry Solution
Jan and her family moved into their new home in 2017 despite not having a pantry. Knowing they needed one desperately, Jan wondered if a pantry could fit in their vast laundry room.
Instead of trying the DIY route, Jan wanted professional help to get it done right.
Jan saw an Inspired Closets sign on the lawn of a home in her neighborhood. She decided to visit their showroom to meet with our expert designer, Felicity.
After Jan shared her vision of what they wanted in a pantry, Felicity got to work! She created a custom design accomplishing everything Jan wanted. So there was never a need to shop around for other companies.
Let The Fun Begin: The Design & Construction Process
Jan thought the process was terrific. Much easier than they thought it would be. The 3D rendering of the project allowed them to see their dream space before installation began.
And, during the process, Jan realized she wanted to expand the project by redoing the laundry room as well!
Jan said, "I was able to make a few tweaks until it was perfect."
Felicity had a contractor she worked with closely. Together they handled it all, making it super easy for them with no mess or stress left behind.
A True Eye-Opening Experience: Make Getting The Ingredients The Easiest Part
"The functionality was the best part," says Jan. Finally, her family could see everything.
Inspired Closets put everything in plain sight by creating:
- clear acrylic snap drawers to see everything
- sliding pull-out drawers for canned goods
- a produce pull-out drawer
- a basket for chips and snacks that the kids loved
- a lazy Susan that holds vinegar, oils, and bottled items
Felicity maximized every inch of space in the design. Jan and her family were amazed the room had a wide-open feel, even with all the items in the room. The area was functional and beautiful.
Saving Time, Money, And Stress
But it wasn’t just pretty to look at. Now that everything is more accessible in her pantry, making a grocery list is a cinch. Jan found herself saving money by not buying things she already owned but simply couldn’t see.
"I love how the kids can find things so quickly. We never have to guess where stuff is, making daily life easier," Jan says.
Another Happy Ending
Jan’s family could not be more satisfied with their reimagined space, telling everyone they know not to be overwhelmed when considering a new project.
Let us help get rid of the mess and stress in your pantry or laundry space like we did for Jan!
Whether you’re embarking on your new construction, forever home, or a renovation to make life better, just imagine how we can help you create your dream come true.
