What is Emerald Ash Borer
Emerald ash borer is an invasive species of beetle that is causing significant damage to ash trees in North America. Here are some key facts and information about the emerald ash borer:
The emerald ash borer is a small, metallic-green beetle that is native to Asia. It was first discovered in North America in 2002.
The emerald ash borer feeds on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. This can cause the tree to die within a few years of infestation.
The emerald ash borer has spread rapidly throughout North America, and has been found in 35 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces.
The emerald ash borer is difficult to control, and there is currently no effective way to eradicate it once it has infested a tree.
There are several measures that can be taken to slow the spread of the emerald ash borer, including quarantines, tree removal, and insecticide treatments.
It is important to properly dispose of ash wood and other materials to prevent the spread of the emerald ash borer. Infested wood should be burned, chipped, or buried.
The emerald ash borer is a serious threat to the health of North American forests, and efforts to control its spread are ongoing.
If you suspect that you have an infestation of emerald ash borer, contact CJS Services to explore different options.
In conclusion, the emerald ash borer is a significant threat to ash trees in North America. It is important to be aware of the signs of infestation and to take action to slow its spread.
