DANGER! Emerald Ash Borer is on the Loose!

Updated Regulations!

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) destruction can be prevented by using our product number 152310, the ACECAP97®.

ACECAP® contains Orthene, a non-restricted use systemic insecticide. That means no record keeping, special equipment or protective clothing is required.

The best time to apply the insecticide is in early Spring, March to early April. This will ensure protection prior to the beginning of the EAB's life cycle and prior to the tree starting its growth cycle.

One treatment will last three months and through the larvae stage of the Emerald Ash Borer.

Note: This product will not work on trees that are already infected with EAB.

Required tools for ACECAP97® implant application:

• Drill with 3/8" bit
• Tape measure
• Hammer
• 1/4" dowel rod

Instructions for ACECAP97® implant application:

1. One hole should be drilled about six to eight inches off the ground every four inches around the tree's circumference. The number of implants per tree can be calculated by taking the tree diameter x 3.14 and dividing by four. Trees with a three inch diameter or less will only require one implant.
2. Each hole should be drilled 1-1/4" deep. This depth will give enough space between the implant and the bark for the tree to heal itself.
3. Once the hole is drilled, place the implant into the hole.
4. Tap the implant with the dowel rod until seated.
5. Measure four inches and repeat the process until you have the required implants seated.

This will sucessfully protect your Ash tree from the threat of the Emerald Ash Borer.

Notice: Effective April 2, 2007,
the Department of Agricultures Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
has amended the Emerald Ash Borer Regulations. They have now designated the
states of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, in their eitirety, as quarantined
areas. This action is necessary to prevent the artificial spread of the
Emerald Ash Borer into non-infested areas of the United States. As a
result of this action, the interstate movement of regulated articles from those
states is restricted.
