Emerald Ash Borer Rapid Spread Seeks North Shore Community Effort

The Emerald Ash Borer is a pesky little insect that destroys your beautiful landscape and entire communities by invading Ash Trees. It is an infestation that communities have become aware of and are taking action against. Kinnucan Landscaping & Tree Company has been there from the start and is one of the only TCIA certified companies in the area. The certification is extremely difficult to attain, making Kinnucan one of the top leaders in battling the emerald ash borer infestation.

Banning Together To Fight This Bug

The spread of the Emerald Ash Borer is extremely fast especially with the EAB having no natural enemies. An infested area is defined by any area within 15 miles of an EAB population. Stay on the cautious side if your county or surrounding counties suspect an EAB infestation and anticipate the EAB to save your trees. Communities on the North Shore have been spreading awareness and dedicating portions of their website to stop this creepy crawler. Communities such as Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Wilmette, Glenview, and Evanston have been proactive in saving precious trees.

Treat It & Get Some Relief!

Prevention is key and should be completed by a professional as soon as you know there are EABs in your area. There are many methods to treating trees affected by the EAB. A certified tree expert like Kinnucan has the experience to accurately evaluate your yard and has the cutting edge technology for prevention. Kinnucan currently uses Tree-Age that is injected into the tree trunk every 2 years. This method is a great alternative to tree removal and replacement. However, as a last resort option if it is too late for your tree to be saved from the EAB, Kinnucan can remove and replace your tree with a new type that is not susceptible to the EAB.
