Protecting Your Ash Trees Against Emerald Ash Borers
Emerald ash borers (EAB) are a non-native pest that attacks all native species of true ash trees of any size and age. The larvae feed on the inner vascular tissues, cutting off water and nutrient flow to the canopy, while mature beetles feed on the leaves from June to August. TreeAzin® Systemic Insecticide (PCP 30559) is the most effective product for EAB control in Canada. TreeAzin, derived from neem tree seed extracts (not neem oil) is not a neonicotinoid. TreeAzin provides up to two years’ protection against EAB, can prevent EAB damage in healthy ash trees and significantly improves an ash tree’s chance of survival if the damage is not too severe. When applied at the maximum dose, TreeAzin kills over 95% of EAB larvae, and reduces fertility and egg viability when adult females feed on a treated tree. TreeAzin degrades naturally within the tree tissues, and when used as labelled, poses minimal risk to children, applicators, bystanders, pets, bees, birds, mammals, soil and aquatic environments.
When assessing EAB populations in your neighbourhood, it is important to know where your tree is within the infestation period. A common misconception is that EAB have only been in an area for a short period of time, when in reality EAB have been in the area for many years. EAB are always further along than we think. Having a qualified service provider assess and treat your ash tree as soon as possible is critical to survival rates. A general guideline is if your tree is within 25 km of a known EAB infestation, the service provider will recommend the maximum TreeAzin dose. If your tree is greater than 25 km from a known EAB infestation, the service provider may recommend a preventive TreeAzin dose to protect it from future attack.
