Borer Ash Tree

Proper removal and disposal of the dead Ash Trees can help with eliminating the spread of the disease to other areas of the city and replanting a variety of trees in the affected Ash Tree areas can help with biodiversity of tree species in the city to prevent another spread from destroying many of our trees. With many different tree species, if there is another beetle or borer outbreak that affects a certain species of tree, It would not be as devastating to the entire tree population because it would only affect a select few trees throughout the

However, once they infest a tree they will continue to feed on it for years, causing severe damage to nutrient transport systems, which can cause massive leaf die offs, dead roots, and the death of the tree itself.

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) most likely came to the United States through solid wood shipments from Asia, and has established its habitat in 25 states - including Georgia - and two Canadian provinces. The female lays eggs and the cream-colored larvae chew tunnels through the wood. The adults are shiny green beetles about a half inch in length and burrow through the wood. Symptoms of EAB infestation in a tree include vertical

The question arose about the cost benefits of treating the tree versus cutting them down. It cost approximately $43.00 to treat one tree versus the $400.00 to cut the tree down, grind the stump away, and plant a new tree in its place. Even though many Ash trees have been saved by this treatment, it was too late for some. So far 10,500 Ash trees have been cut down in the city of Fort Wayne because they were attacked by the Ash Borer. This year another 2,447 will be cut down also. Mudrack Tree Experts have

Insecticides have been used to try to control the emerald ash borer. However, there are guidelines for the use of these chemicals. There is a per acre use limit which means that all ash trees in the same area can be treated more than once in a year with the same chemical. Before treating an area one should pro-rate the acre use limit to match the size of the treatment area in order to control the concentration of the chemicals being used. Insecticides used against the borer may be soil applied, trunk injected and cover sprays. The soil applied treatment has been tested and has proved to be very inconsistent. Therefore, environmental activists concerned about the use of insecticides moved towards using a trunk injected treatment, but this has too been proven inconsistent in their trials. Cover sprays, however, seem to be providing mediocre results. While this treatment

The Eastern Hemlock is being attacked by the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid. This invasive aphid-like insect kills Hemlock by feeding on their starch reserves and injecting a toxin into them that causes their needles to drop more quickly. According to the article “Rehabilitation Guidelines for Hemlock Stands,” “Adelgids cause damage by depleting the Hemlock’s starch reserves.” When the starch reserves are depleted, the tree doesn't have enough energy to grow. The Hemlock Wooly Adelgid’s toxin causes needles to fall off the tree faster, as shown in the article “Forest Health Fact Sheet”. With less needles to perform photosynthesis in and not enough energy reserves to grow new ones, the tree is unable to store enough energy to live well through the dark winters, and it dies within a few years.

The government of Canada has decided to implement a 30 year plan, which will cost over 2 billion dollars, it includes using insecticides and traps to eliminate Emerald Ash Borers and further infections in ash trees. Another negative effect is Emerald Ash Borer’s ability to consume white fringe tree, a close relative of ash trees, which is a sign that Emerald Ash Borers might be able to infect different types of tree in the future. Emerald Ash Borer has caused a slowdown in Canada’s forestry industry due to the death of many ash trees, which will mean slower economic growth for Canada, since we rely a lot on forestry products. Emerald Ash Borer has been increasing in population rapidly due to a lack of enough predators. As Emerald Ash Borer continue to threaten our forests, which has provided us with camping grounds, shade, and oxygen for years will be at risk. Ash trees are also an important part in preventing clogged river, streams, and water-treatment plant because of soil slides resulting from rain. Trees normally holds on to the soil to prevent clogged rivers and streams, but with Emerald Ash Borers wiping out million of ash tree and putting billions more at risk, it could disrupt the delicate balance between trees and soil. Researchers expect ash tree mortality rates will have ecological impacts on animals that rely on ash

Many people think that to get rid of them we have to cut down the ash trees but that is not true. Recently in Burnsville, this summer it injected 14 ash trees at City Hall with pesticide to protect them against the emerald ash borer. Deborah McCullough, a professor of entomology and forestry at Michigan State University. Based on her research, she says: “There is no reason for a landscape ash tree to die from emerald ash borer anymore. The treatment is so effective and so much cheaper than removal and replacement that I can’t get a single elected official to weigh in on the side of removing healthy trees because we don’t have to, and that is never popular with the public.” Private ash trees that were not injected are dead, while treated ash trees on city property stand nearby in good health. Michigan and Ohio State research shows that injecting Tree-age “provides at least two years of almost 100 percent control” of larvae, McCullough said. Applying pesticides every two years costs about $250 a tree, while removal and replacement is $700 to $1,200 a tree. The company says the product is a safe, “organic” option. We should try that option instead of cutting down trees. This would help protect the area of great lakes from emerald ash

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ADDS BUTLER COUNTY TO THOUSAND CANKERS DISEASE QUARANTINE State taking measures to protect Ohio’s walnut trees REYNOLDSBURG, OH (Dec. 19, 2013) – In an effort to protect the trees of Ohio, the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) has added Butler County to the state’s Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD) quarantine regulating the transportation of walnut tree products and firewood. The quarantine in Butler County goes into effect Dec. 26. TCD primarily affects black walnut trees, as well as other species of walnut, and is caused by a fungus transported by the walnut twig beetle. The walnut twig beetle spreads the fungus when it bores into the branches and trunk tissue of walnut trees, which are killed by repeated infections

Today's media and the members of society set a standard for physical appearance that people compare themselves to, which oftentimes, these standards are physically unreachable. If people think that they do not look like the picture in the magazines then they feel as though something is wrong with them. If bans were placed on Photoshop and underweight models it would stop the glorification of unhealthy weights, habits, and unrealistic comparisons. When people look at the media, they are usually looking at accounts that Photoshop their models. In these images the models are thin, have zero imperfections, they are in shape, and they perfectly proportionate. People, mostly young adults, looking at these models believe that what they are looking

Irrespective of the types of pests that have attacked your personal space, you need to hire a professional pest control company to get rid of them instead of trying to handle it on your own. Here are a few reasons why:

Throughout the Old Testament God continually manifests himself to humanity. When He is speaking to the prophets, leaders, or the nation of Israel, He presents opportunities for obedience in the form of covenants. Faithfulness is also needed to secure an association with God. Obedience is probably the most difficult aspect of mankind’s relationship with God. These covenants are the essential promises and pacts between God and humanity. I will present evidence from each of the Four Canons (Pentateuch, History, Poetry /Wisdom, and Prophets) from the Old Testament that our best is only possible by obeying God.
