Texas extension expert H A Turney urges control of peach tree borers now. Infestation shows as wax or gum on trunks and damage spans from near ground level. Apply Paradichlorobenzene crystals between October 20 and November 15 and clear weeds and grass from around a foot of trunk.
An entomologist recommends placing PCB crystals in a circular ring about two inches from the tree trunk and covering with a six inch dirt mound. Do not let crystals touch the tree. Leave until spring then level. Apply about half an ounce per tree for two to three year olds, one quarter ounce for four to five year olds, and one ounce for mature trees, depending on size. Soil must be dry and above 55 degrees Fahrenheit during application.
Turney recommends consulting your local county agricultural agent for guidance on managing the peach tree borer, offering regionally specific advice and resources.
