I am a homeowner who has done a lot of research on treating for EAB. I own my own ArborJet system, and last Thursday I treated my ash trees with TreeAge (second application at 2-year mark). Yesterday, my daughter noticed dozens of dead EAB's on the trampoline under one of the trees. Did the EB kill these bugs, or is it just part of their natural life cycle to be dying at this stage? Didn't really expect the tree to uptake the EB up to the leaves this quickly.
 
You likely killed them! Remember TREE-äge lasts beyond 2 years so there may be a combination of this year's active ingredient and some old.
