Abstract/Contents:Profiles the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation in Illinois. Describes efforts by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDA), stating that "when a discovery is made and confirmed, the first step is to set up a quarantine of the area...The second step is the removal of infested trees." Reports that in the fall of 2007 the "IDA will follow up surveying more than 1200 trees in Lake, Cook, Will, DuPage, McHenry, Kane, Kendall, Grundy, LaSalle, DeKalb, Boone, Winnebago, Ogle, and Lee counties." Details three surveying methods: detection trees (girdled trap trees), destructive sampling, and visual surveys. Discusses potential methods of control, including the use of insecticides stating that "research and experience has shown that insecticides can protect ash trees from being killed by EAB. However, success is not guaranteed." Also mentions preventative chemical control options.
