Emerald Ash Borer Treatment of City Ash Trees
Summary
The city treats about 47 mature ash trees against the emerald ash borer, and a new surfactant mix is doubling how long treatments last. That could mean treating twice as many trees or cutting product costs in half. Homeowners are on their own for treating private trees, though the city can share product recommendations.
