About Us
The Emerald Ash Borer has made its debut into many southern and central parts of Ontario.
Unfortunately without treatment, the ash tree population will not survive. The Emerald Ash Borer works quickly and efficiently at performing its role in killing the ash trees. Millions of trees have already been killed, and millions more will be killed by this invasive beetle.
It is estimated that in Southern Ontario Over 20% of the forests are Ash trees!
Over the past decade we have learned a lot about the Emerald Ash Borer, and because of the potential loss, rightfully so. A lot of resources and funding is being placed into this invasive and destructive insect.
One of the pieces of newer information is the so-called “exponential death curve”.
The curve shows where a specific city, county or region is in its infestation. This timeline can help local officials determine how to treat trees. City managers of urban forests are well aware of this, but many homeowners may not be.
The curve shows how infestation starts slowly, but at a certain point, kicks in and suddenly becomes very destructive. Historical results in all areas which had infestation follow the same pattern, which shows the infestation beginning progressing slowly for the first six to eight years.
After being infested for six to eight years, less than 10 percent of trees typically have died. Note that this is aproximately where we are today in Toronto and the York region.
But that number in all cases began to rise very quickly, over the next two years the death rate was at about 20%, or doubling in only two years! Four years later this level was at around 80% and after an additional two years was at 100%.
This "death curve" is well known in the industry and repeats itself over and over again. The only answer to protect your ash trees is to have them treated.
