Bark Damage-English Ivy and insects?

We recently moved and the new area has English Ivy beginning to work on the trees. I have been attacking it with success but one tree had serious damage with the bark falling off. I pulled it away to discover boring by insects. Right now I am not sure what type but most varieties appear only to attack rotting wood and this was bad. The tree is about three feet in diameter. The damage appears to be on one side and I pulled away bark about three feet up on one side.



Is there anything I can do to help this bark-less section now?



Any thoughts on the general damage control?
