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
Capsule size varies by product and by tree diameter at breast height (DBH)
Each Mauget product has its own capsule size and DBH range set by its label. Refer to the label for the product you are applying, and see our complete capsule guide for step-by-step application instructions.
View Application GuideImportant Considerations
- • Always read and follow the product label; the label is the final authority on application rates
- • 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
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
