LONGHORNED BEETLE, Revised January 2007
"1. Soil or trunk injection of
insecticides:
Imidacloprid, a chemical with
systemic properties and low mammalian toxicity, has been
found to be effective against
adult ALB as it feeds on small twigs, the female when
depositing
eggs, and young larvae"
Why
trunk injection should
used, 1) control of the insect before they fly outside the Quarantine
area
2) safer than spraying,
non target
species such as birds, ...people are not harmed.
