The Emerald Ash Borer

on Tuesday, 14 May 2013. Posted in Landscape Solutions Blog

What You Need to Know

Millions of ash trees stand dead throughout Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. Ever since its accidental introduction in the United States and Canada in the 1990's, the invasive Emerald Ash Borer has killed 50 to 100 million ash trees and threatens over 7 billion trees throughout North America. This pesky beetle only attacks ash trees. The beetles are metallic green with purple segments under their wings, about ½" long, and have flattened backs.

In Indianapolis and Hamilton County, we have all become quite familiar with air pollution advisories during the dog days of summer. Do Knozone Action Days sound familiar? We are reminded to reduce our impact on air pollution by taking steps like waiting until late in the day to fill our gas tank or mow our lawn. We are cautioned against letting our engine idle in drive-thru lanes or to avoid unnecessary driving. But what about the winter months?
