Treating Emerald Ash Borer

[Peacock]

Just wondering if anyone in the areas affected by Emerald ash borer has tried any of the systemic insecticides available, and if so, what have been the results?

We have ordered Acecap implants to treat approximately 100 ash trees on our property - the $200 spent is obviously far less than it would cost to have dead trees removed. I really hope it works; our area is starting to get hit bad.

Hadn't heard of Acecap, where can you get information about it? The method of control they are using here is to cut all the mature trees. Leaving just the young trees. Resoning being that a young growing tree might be better able to survive the damage caused by the infestation. While the mature trees have value as lumber but they won't if they die.

Here is a very informative website about the EAB.
