TextEmerald Ash Borer Trapping in Fairfax County
|
|
Fairfax County staff first identified several sites infested with emerald ash borer in 2008. It is very difficult to find trees that are infested with emerald ash borer; they can go undetected for several years.
This spring, Fairfax County worked cooperatively with Virginia
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to implement
a emerald ash borer survey. Five hundred emerald ash borer
traps were placed throughout Fairfax County. The traps were
periodically checked throughout the summer to idenify any additional
areas of infestation.
