Default Elm beetle?

We live in the Denver area and have some pretty elms surrounding the

branches and a few of the trees have been dying.

We had the dead ones cut down but would LIKE to save the rest if it doesnt
cost a lot. ( for us, we dont have much money )

Is it expensive to save elms like this from elm beetle?

I heard that with roses, you can plant garlic around them and it helps
keep bugs away, like a systemic? Will that work with elms?


I'm not sure about how expensive it would be to save your trees from
the elm bettle, but I'm sure your local gardening store could help you
find some more information.
