Post subject:  Hundreds of pinholes in Red Oak bark

My eight year old Red Oak appears to have died due to an attack of some kind of borer insect. The tree has hundreds, maybe thousands of tiny pinholes. I tried to cut away most of the branches and spray the main tree bark. I don't think I was timely in saving the tree. I searched the internet for cause and cure; not entirely sure on either. I think the tree was affected by an oak borer. Does anyone know how to save, but more importantly how to treat from happening again.
I will most likely have to plant a replacement tree(s). I am hoping to do another red oak, unless there are better suited oaks for the N.E. San Antonio area.
Thanks in advance for assistance in this frustrating loss.
