Canopy thinning from the top down, D-shaped exit holes, bark splitting over S-shaped tunnels, and heavier woodpecker activity are the signs to watch for. Given Milbank’s confirmed status, don’t assume a thinning tree is just old age without a closer look.
Frequently Asked
01
Is every ash tree in Milbank now assumed infested?
No — confirmation means EAB is present in the area, not that every individual tree is infested. Each tree still needs its own assessment.
