Hi all, I don't really know where else to turn with this odd topic! We have a fairly small yard (almost 2 acres), on which we let our girls free range. The majority of our trees are ash. We don't have any Emerald Ash Borers yet but we know they're coming. We're trying to come up with a game plan and I'd like to save a few of our very large ash trees but I'm concerned about the chemicals. Imidacloprid is used to treat grub infestations...don't chickens eat grubs? Trying to think this through...we'll probably only be able to afford to treat a few trees, the pesticide will be applied within 18-24" of the tree trunk so it seems the chemical would be taken up quickly by the tree. Have any of you battled the EAB?
