Papatyi Landscaping has been helping homeowners in the area with their dying ash trees so much lately, we have become specialists!

According to www.emeraldashborer.info It attacks only ash trees (Fraxinus spp.). Adult Beetles are metallic green and about 1/2-inch long. Adults leave a D-shaped exit hole in the bark when they emerge in spring. Woodpeckers like EAB larvae; heavy woodpecker damage on ash trees may be a sign of infestation. Firewood cannot be moved in many areas of Michigan, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin because of the EAB quarantine. It probably came from Asia in wood packing material.
