Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis
Fairmaire), an invasive insect native
to Asia, has killed untold millions of ash trees (Fraxinus species) in urban, rural
and forested settings. This beetle was first
identified in 2002 in southeast Michigan and
Windsor, Ontario. As of April 2014, emerald
ash borer (EAB) infestations were known to be present in 22 states as well as two
Canadian provinces. Surveys continue and
additional infestations will be found as EAB
continues to invade North America. Ash trees
are common in urban landscapes and residential areas across much of the continental
US. Many homeowners, tree care professionals, and municipalities would like to protect
valuable ash trees from EAB.
Since 2002, our ability to control EAB and
effectively protect ash in the landscape has
progressed substantially. Scientists have
learned much about this insect and how it
interacts with its host trees. New insecticide
products and application methods have been
developed and tested. Results of field trials have shown that even large ash
trees can be effectively and consistently protected over multiple
years, even in areas with high
densities of EAB. Recent economic
analyses have concluded that
treating landscape ash trees with
effective systemic insecticides is
much less costly than removing
trees.
Our understanding of how EAB
can be managed successfully with
insecticides has advanced since
this bulletin was initially published
in 2009. This version has been revised to
address frequently asked questions and
reflect the current state of understanding of
insecticide options for controlling EAB and
their effectiveness. It is important to note that
research is an ongoing process. Scientists
from universities, government agencies and
companies will continue to make discover-
ies and advance EAB management and ash
conservation.
