City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #202945

Street Trees:

Other: The bug maple city tree in front of our house on S Washington (near the corner of Dodds) has a carpenter ant infestation at the base of the trunk. If treated immediately I think the tree can still be saved. Will the city do this? If not, may I do so? We don’t want to lose this beautiful tree.

I can come out and take a look. Carpenter ants do not kill trees, they are opportunistic. There is likely already some dead inner wood that they have built a nest in.
