 Symptoms and Treatment: Adult Emerald Ash Borer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you can\u2019t always spot it, the beetle may live in cut wood such as firewood. You can help stop the beetle by not moving firewood. Moving firewood can spread the beetle, its larvae and its eggs to healthy trees. Burn your firewood where you buy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adult beetles are most active during the summer and early fall. If you see the beetle or any signs of infestation, you need to report it immediately. (Contact your local U.S. Department of Agriculture Office.) During the late summer, fall and winter months, the beetle\u2019s larvae tunnel deep into the trees they infest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the beetle is difficult to spot, you can look for signs of infestation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Canopy dieback begins at the top of the tree and progresses throughout the year until the tree is bare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Vertical bark splits expose S-shaped galleries beneath the bark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Galleries under the bark reveal the back and forth feeding pattern of the EAB larvae. Adults emerge from D-shaped exit holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following insecticides for professional use have been shown to be effective against the Emerald Ash-Borer either as a soil drench or as a tree injectible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Merit\u00ae (75WP, 75WSP, 2F) (Imidacloprid) \u2013 Use as soil injection or drench. Mid-fall and\/or mid-to late spring. Merit\u00ae also is available as a trunk injectible from Tree Tech.  This method is very effective as it uses the tree\u2019s own biology to distribute the insecticide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. XytectTM (2F, 75WSP) (Imidacloprid) \u2013 Soil injection or drench Mid-fall and\/or mid-to late spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. IMA-jet\u00ae (Imidacloprid) \u2013 Trunk injection Early May to mid-June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Imicide\u00ae (Imidacloprid) \u2013 Trunk injection Early May to mid-June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. TREE-\u00e4geTM (Emamectin benzoate) \u2013 Trunk injection Early May to mid-June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Inject-A-Cide B\u00ae (Bidrin\u00ae) \u2013 Trunk injection Early May to mid-June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Homeowner Use \u2013 Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Insect Control -(Imidacloprid) Soil drench \u2013 Mid-fall or mid-to late spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
