A technique that is complemented by the placement of small plugs in the holes made in the tree so that it is fully protected. The application of this technique has a proven efficacy superior to that applied by means of the spray system of the specimens, since the durability of the product within the tree is estimated to be about 2 years. In order to carry out these tasks, we have all the elements and safety equipment necessary for the correct handling of this type of substances.
