Effective method to prevent emerald ash borer

Product pusher. Bayer also claims to be a feeder of trees as well. You'll learn to sing some other tune when these insects arrive in your neck of the woods. They are a monumental catastrophe. I live near ground zero. Millions of ash trees, in forests and back yards, have been killed. The non-native emerald ash borer attacks healthy trees as well as stressed trees. The skeletons of dead ash in nearby wildlands eerie and obvious. All due to a surprisingly small green beetle. Long term (maybe very long term indeed), breeding resistant strains of North American ash and finding appropriate biological controls will be needed or the American ash is history. http://www.emeraldashborer.info/ Should I Replant or Save My Ash? (PowerPoint presentation): http://www.emeraldashborer.info/file...ProtectAsh.htm Options for 'do it yourself' homeowners unwilling to give up on their ash trees: http://www.emeraldashborer.info/files/E2955.pdf (As for me, if I had to make a choice, I would the ash tree removed and be done with it.) Quote from http://www.emeraldashborer.info/homeownerinfo.cfm "IMPORTANT NOTE: Using insecticides to control EAB on ash trees is an option in Michigan and the EAB quarantined counties in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. If your tree is located within an area designated for eradication or suppression activities, it may be removed by regulatory agencies even if it has been treated. In those cases where government- ordered tree removals occur within the contiguous EAB quarantine counties, consideration will be given to ash trees treated by certified applicators utilizing methods and materials recommended by Michigan State University. If your ash trees are located outside of this area in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois or Ohio, using insecticides may not be recommended. If you are not sure about the regulatory status of your area or whether you should consider insecticides, please contact your county Extension office." -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
