Discounted Emerald Ash Borer Treatments Available In Eden Prairie

Press release from the City of Eden Prairie:

April 28, 2021

Eden Prairie has experienced a sharp increase in ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). While many property owners are treating ash trees to protect them from EAB, 99% of the trees left untreated will die from the pest and need to be removed.

Due to the increase in EAB, the City recommends treating healthy ash trees in 2021 to prevent infestation. Treating trees or removing them before they are infested is often less expensive than removing infested trees.

When replacing ash trees, property owners are encouraged to replant a diverse range of species to reduce the potential impact of future invasive species.

Information about treatment options and the City’s EAB management plan are available at edenprairie.org/EAB.
