Elm leaf beetle ruining your elm trees?

The elm leaf beetle (Xanthogaleruca luteola) is a common pest of elm trees in Canberra.

Elm leaf beetles (pictured left) are about 5mm long with a yellow / green / brown body with two wide stripes down their back. They destroy elm trees by eating away at the leaves, which defoliates the tree and makes it vulnerable to disease.

Elm leaf beetles thrive in Canberra spring time, when the weather begins to warm. This is also the ideal time to treat them.

Terra Solarus is a registered, accredited business for treating elm leaf beetle infestations.

Jackie and Bret use tree stem injections to treat elm trees, which is generally considered to be the safest and most effective method.
