Professional Application Process
Follow these simple steps for effective tree injection treatments. Mauget is truly the "RIGHT WAY TO TREAT A TREE."
Tree Measurement
Measure tree at breast height (DBH) in inches to determine capsule requirements
Divide diameter by 2, or circumference by 6, to establish number of capsules needed
Site Preparation
Drill 11/64" holes approximately 6" apart at the tree base
Avoid root valleys and ensure holes reach healthy xylem (white wood)
Capsule Preparation
Compress capsules by hand or use Mauget compression tool
Apply appropriate pressure to activate the injection system
Feeder Tube Installation
Insert feeder tube onto capsule with gunsight facing upward
Ensure proper alignment for optimal injection performance
Injection Process
Place capsule and feeder tube into drilled holes
Tap capsule to seat feeder tube and puncture membrane interface
Monitoring & Removal
Monitor uptake and remove empty capsules promptly
Uptake usually occurs within several minutes to a few hours
Dosage Guidelines
Proper dosage is critical for treatment effectiveness. Follow these guidelines based on tree size and species.
Capsule Size Selection Guide
Choose the appropriate capsule size based on tree diameter at breast height (DBH)
2-10 inches DBH
10-36 inches DBH
36+ inches DBH
24+ inches DBH (Evergreens)
Important Considerations
- • For heavier infestations, use 4mL capsules on all tree sizes
- • Trees in advanced stages of infestation may not respond to treatment
- • Round down to lower whole number if calculation results in fraction
- • Tree health, species, and environmental conditions affect uptake rate
Special Application Considerations
Different tree types require specific application techniques for optimal results.
Palm Trees & Monocotyledons
- Use multiple injection sites with alternating drilling depths
- Capture scattered vascular bundles effectively
- Limit depth to less than 1/3 the diameter of the tree
- Single injection site can accommodate multiple capsules with one feeder tube
Conifer Species
- Place injection sites higher on trunk (36-48") during growing season
- Account for high resin pressure in conifers
- Drill to depth of up to 2 inches where tree diameter allows
- Use 6mL capsules for trees over 24" DBH
Trees with Thin Bark
- Use 7/64" drill bit for trees with bark less than 3/8" thick
- Utilize mini-micro feeder tubes for optimal results
- Consider mini-micro insertion tool for precise placement
- Ensure proper depth to reach cambium tissue
Safety & Environmental Benefits
Mauget's closed system approach provides superior safety and environmental protection compared to traditional methods.
Professional Safety
- Use the Mauget system as the preferred choice of professionals, governments, and institutions
- Fully enclosed (closed system) presents low risk compared to other treatment methods
