Sawdust – No Beetle Risk
Q: We recently had a large water oak removed due to an infestation of ambrosia beetles. Is there a risk of infection to nearby trees from the ground stump sawdust?
A: There is no harm from the sawdust. The stump grinding process definitely ground the ambrosia beetles and their larvae to smithereens.
