Safely Disposing of Japanese Beetle-Infested Trees in Colorado
Japanese beetles are a stubborn and damaging pest in Colorado, known for skeletonizing leaves and causing serious harm to trees and shrubs. In some cases, the damage is so severe that trees need to be removed entirely. But what happens afterward? If you’re dealing with beetle-infested tree debris, it’s essential to dispose of it safely and responsibly—and that’s where EnviroWorks, Inc. comes in to help.
Why Proper Disposal Matters
Improper disposal of infested wood and foliage can help spread Japanese beetles, especially if adult beetles or larvae are still around. These pests can hitch rides in yard waste and move to new feeding areas if they are not disposed of properly. Burning, chipping, or composting at home may seem like good options, but without the proper equipment or heat levels, it could exacerbate the problem.
