Can the emerald ash borer be eradicated from North America and Europe?

Sure. It's like bug suicide ---------- they are eating all the ash trees and will run outta food. They ate all the ash trees in my woods already.

They are kinda pretty. Why Should they be eradicated?


I assumem they are like the elm-beetles that are currently killing off all our Elm threes. They are slowly moving upwards from the German border and will reach the northern tip of Denmark in a couple of years.
Meanwhile new elm trees are growing happily on the German border and a bit north of it. It is not the end of the world. Just save some seeds for when they have passed on.

I use Sevin Dust.

Sure. Quit burning emeralds, then they won't have any emerald ash to tell long, uninteresting stories to.

Sure. All you have to do is dig up all the emerald ash trees and ship them to China and let them figure out what to do. China would probably develop a green glass tree and the borers would starve to death.
