New emerald ash borer website:

A new website created by the University of Illinois Extension contains information and photos to help homeowners to identify whether their trees are infested with the emerald ash borer and suggestions for appropriate treatment options. While there are many websites about the emerald ash borer, http://web.extension.illinois.edu/eab/ breaks down the information to what's needed for a homeowner to identify the tree and the pest and to take action. The small, bright metallic green beetle came to the U.S. from Asia in 2002 and was first seen in Illinois in Kane County in June 2006. The website also is available in Spanish.
