Things to be Aware of with the Emeral dAsh Borer Insect Infestation in the State

If visiting the sites where the insects have been located, the State suggested checking your clothing for any insects prior to leaving the site and keeping car windows rolled up to prevent transporting adult borers to new locations.

I would encorage you to check the trees on their property if you have traveled to Michigan or Ohio any time in the last 10 years and possibly transported firewood back to Illinois.

The website www.emeraldashborer.info has the most current information and research data. The State said to recommend only those chemical treatments that are cited as potentially effective in the material on this site. These have had the most extensive research and testing to date for effectiveness in treating the emerald ash borer.
