Wasps - Borers and Miners

General Recommendations: The larvae of a few wasps bore or mine into trunks, twigs, or pithy stems such as roses. The larvae of the pigeon tremex, a horntail, tunnels in dead or dying wood of maples, beech and several other fruit trees and forest hardwoods.

Prune out infested wood as well as any dead and dying branches.
