www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, June 21, 2012 · 8 What is the Emerald Ash Borer? The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive insect from Asia that has killed millions of ash trees in Ontario and the eastern United States since its discovery in 2002. Almost 180,000 ash trees in Oakville are at risk. What can I do? Take action now to protect your private ash trees. Contact a certified arborist to assess whether your ash tree is a candidate for treatment. Infected trees will die within one to three years if left untreated, and signs of the insect are often invisible until it's too late. Treatment is effective if administered before August. Help protect Oakville's tree canopy! Whether you have an ash tree or not, you can become a Canopy Club Champion. Spread the word!
