GYPSY MOTH
Haldimand trees got a break last summer from Gypsy Moth damage, thanks to the
spring and summer weather conditions in 2010! Let's hope 2011 is good as well!
GYPSY MOTHS ON SINGLE TREES IN YARDS ~
Forest Health Specialist, Amanda Dooney has been fielding many calls on this issue -
“I’ve received a lot of phone calls from landowners wondering what to do about Gypsy
Moth on single trees in yards. I’ve discovered that the Caledonia Garden Centre on
Hwy 6 sells several “Tanglefoot” products which are geared toward dealing with Gypsy
Moth on yard trees, and I’ve been passing this information on to these landowners.”
Most GARDEN CENTRES will have these products. For more information contact
Amanda.

EMERALD ASH BORER (EAB)
Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Background:
The emerald ash borer was first discovered in Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan in 2002. It is believed that it was
introduced to North America from eastern Asia in wood packing material in the early 1990s, but went undetected until its
population built up to damaging levels.
Since then, additional infestations have been detected and regulatory measures for EAB have been put in place in Ontario in
the city of Toronto, the municipality of Chatham-Kent as well as Essex, Elgin, Lambton, Middlesex and Norfolk counties. These
measures prohibit the movement of ash tree materials and firewood of any species from these areas without prior permission
from the CFIA. The aim is to control the movement of potentially infested materials in order to slow the spread of EAB to new
areas. Those who move regulated materials from regulated areas and quarantine zones without the permission of the CFIA
could face fines and/or prosecution.
The emerald ash borer has also more recently been confirmed in Ontario in the municipality of Bluewater and in Pickering,
Sault Ste. Marie, Vaughan, Ottawa, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, and in the Montérégie Region of Quebec. Some of these
populations were well established when detected and infestation may have occurred before regulatory programs were in place
for this pest. Regulatory measures in these areas are taken based on information obtained through ongoing survey work.
For information about the beetle, go to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's website at www.inspection.gc.ca under "forestry"
or call the CFIA toll-free at 866-463-6017.
EAB only infests and kills ash trees. Click here for an ash tree I.D. fact sheet.
