    Are cities and towns treating? Using Injections, drenches, etc?

However getting the machine out was a real chore. In the end, I drove it into the lake, and about 1000' on the frozen ice, to where the community has a boat launch. When I was on the ice, the machine did put a tire through, but it was because I was too close to shore. Luckily I was able to get unstuck and continue without any further troubles.
    We use a Bandit HB20 and love how it gets in to small places. Just a thought but handle bar machines climb much better backwards than forwards. You knew that already right?

    Man, that'd be one fat job to do Milwaukee with the Arborjet. Wonder if anyone supervises to see if the chem is actually taken in?

    My town 3 years ago decided to do a couple of years of soil drench which they surmised would give them the time to remove the trees. They cannot comprehend the fact that most trees will take 2 to 5 years to die when infestation hits and it is not even in our town yet. They (council) voted to ignore the vote of the Forestry Board to not treat and spend on replacements.

    Well, here in the upcoming third year they again ignored the board, said they no longer intend to remove ANY ash and they are taking the treatments from $2500. to $25000 per year for the next 3 years. And to make it even more inadvisable, they are doing a soil drench with Imidacloprid.

    No other towns around are treating and one of the Council members is the city manager of the next city over which is upper middle class income and his town is doing no treatments while he votes to treat our town. Go figure.

    Anyone else out there having EAB dilemmas in their vicinity?

    I'm a little baffled by the inclusion of 14 new Ohio counties in which no EAB infestations have been discovered. From the Ohio Department of Agriculture press release:
    "While the invasive pest has not been detected in the following 14 counties, the department issues this quarantine to make the movement of ash trees, parts of ash trees and all hardwood firewood more practical among counties that are adjacent to previously quarantined areas."
    I thought that was the purpose of the quarantine; to slow the spread by restricting wood movement. Maybe Ohio knows they'll be underfunded and have chosen to throw in the towel. I'm sure the firewood guys whom I've blasted for ignoring the quarantine are having a good laugh.
    Whatever,
    Phil

    Nobody ever enforced those quarantines anyway Phil. Plus it is kinda unrealistic to think a little island county in the midst of an ocean of infestation will somehow remain a virgin.

    Underfunding or no funding and throwing in the towel is par for the course you are right.

    As for the Arborjet (EmBen) which is almost a 100% safeguard.....the cost is astounding ($525 plus per liter chem alone) and has anyone (besides JPS) seen the cavernous injection hole? In the long run even with 3 year treatments, this has to have an impact.

    I did see, on two separate occasions, trailer loads of slab wood tagged with quarantine tags sitting beside a major highway so at least in those cases someone was doing their job. With the first infestation in 2002, it's been 7 or 8 years and my county was still EAB free despite being between tow major east west corridors; Rt 90 and the Ohio Turnpike. Seems to me the quarantine was doing some good in slowing the spread. I guess it's naive to think the people will fight the good fight and do the right thing. About 5 years ago I was talking to an entomologist from Michigan about EAB. She was elated that she had just received funding that would keep her working all summer. I asked her what she was doing and she said that she went out and looked at dead trees. When I asked her about stopping the spread she told me "oh, we can't stop it but I'm happy to be working" I guess I shouldn't expect much but my father use to tell me "if you know the right thing to do then do the right thing" Seemed simpler when he said it.

    No, not her. This girl dated my nephew and I'd have to hear her name again to remember it. I'm in Geauga county, which borders on Cuyahoga.
