Can anything be done to prevent EAB from killing ash trees?
To date, efforts to contain EAB have been unsuccessful. In the next several years we may have new methods for slowing EAB’s spread, but these will only slow its spread, not stop it. In areas where EAB is present, insecticide treatments can be used to protect high-value trees, such as large shade trees, historic trees and trees valued by homeowners. Researchers are currently working to develop new treatments for EAB.
