Herbicide and Insecticide Treatment for Ailanthus Altissima

Herbicide and insecticide treatment services will be on an as-needed basis in support of the USDA and state programs to eradicate or control SLF in identified states. Treatments will be completed on public and private property, in both landscaped and unmanaged areas, including woodlots and fencerows. In general, herbicide is applied to ailanthus trees with a DBH less than 6 inches. Any Ailanthus with a DBH of greater than 6 inches will generally be treated with insecticide. The contractor shall provide all personnel, labor, supervision, supplies, equipment, and materials required to treat ailanthus trees. Contract will require, at a minimum, that the contractor have on the spot access to an arborist (texting and calling would be acceptable), must provide state certified commercial pesticide applicators or any additional requirements as required by law to supervise the application of herbicide and insecticide, and a licensed applicator must be on-site while any treatment is being performed. All contractor employees performing treatment must be properly trained and able to positively identify the Ailanthus tree for treatment.
