Minnesota officials are entering their fourth year of battling Emerald Ash Borer in a desperate attempt to save the state's nearly 1 billion ash trees. The Pioneer Press reports on some not-so-traditional methods employed by the department of agriculture to stop the exotic beetle. One interesting method involves gluing several dead Emerald Ash Borers to a leaf and leaving them by the Mississipi River in hopes that a male will come by to mate and get stuck.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is hoping trained detection dogs will help locate ash trees infested with the invasive beetles. The organization Working Dogs for Conservation claims to have found encouraging results in training dogs to find emerald ash borers.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture says they found fewer infested trees than expected in Minnesota's initial infestation area. Scientists conducting the branch sampling study also noticed fewer green beetles in the affected trees.
MPR reports the Department of Agriculture will start hanging about 6,500 purple traps next week throughout the state. The beetle has already killed and infested millions of ash trees across the country, including several hundred in the Twin Cities metro.
The wasps will be released in Great River Bluffs State Park in Winona County, where a recent borer infestation was reported. The state has released the wasps on four separate occasions since the pest was first discovered in 2009.
City workers are cutting down the old-growth trees in hopes of stopping the pest from spreading even farther. The city has already chopped down hundreds of infected trees this year.
Agriculture officials hope the insects -- a natural enemy of the ash borer -- will help combat a newly discovered infestation of the pest near the city's historic Summit Avenue.
