- Created: 12 May 2009
Dublin City officials knew it was only a matter of time before the Emerald Ash Borer arrived in Dublin...the destructive insects have been found in ash trees northwest of the Riverside Drive and Hard Road intersection.
The Emerald Ash Borer is a non-native insect that burrows into ash trees, eventually killing them. The insect is spreading throughout Ohio, killing millions of ash trees in the Midwest.
There are two acceptable treatment methods for ash trees, soil treatment or trunk injection. Homeowners can purchase soil treatment chemicals at home improvement stores. Tree insecticide injections must be done by professionals. The City recommends that arborists be ISA certified.
The decision to treat or remove ash trees from private property belongs to the property owner. For more information about the City's plan click to deal with the Emerald Ash Borer click here.
