This treatment is suprisingly affordable, yet the results are invaluable.

Melbourne has been said to have the worlds most significant population of Elm Trees, due to disease already wiping out Europe & America's Elms.

The Elm Leaf Beetle (Pyrrhalta luteola) is here in Melbourne and is responsible for major damage to our significant population of Elm Trees (Ulmus sp.) The Elm Leaf Beetle is your Elm Trees worst enemy.

Untreated Elm leaf with beetle & larvae damage can have as little as 19% of it's essential ability to photosynthesize light into energy creating food. This results in stress & decline as energy reserves dwindle and eventual death.

But now, thanks to the latest technology in treatment delivery systems & chemistries we are able to turn the tables on this pest.
Now the Elm Leaf Beetle has its own worst enemy!

Introducing... The ArborJet System.

University studies have proved our system as having the highest effacacy of any other delivery method.
