Aloha Tree Savers is committed to using environmentally responsible methods to protect and preserve our trees. One of the innovative solutions is a non-toxic, eco-friendly treatment called PTWK. This treatment is specifically designed to combat the threat posed by coconut rhinoceros beetles, which are known to cause significant damage to palm trees by boring into the trunk and feeding on the sap.
PTWK works by suffocating the beetle when they try to eat the tree. Unlike traditional chemical treatments, PTWK is safe for use around people, pets, and other wildlife, ensuring that our approach to tree care is both effective and sustainable, without harming the tree or surrounding ecosystem.
By using PTWK, Aloha Tree Savers not only helps protect individual trees from potential death due to beetle infestations but also contributes to the overall health and resilience of our local environment.
