Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 23, 2015

After killing over 50 million Ash trees across 25 states, Emerald Ash Borer is making its presence known in the Philadelphia region according to Giroud Tree and Lawn. Ash trees infested with Emerald Ash Borer, decline quickly and usually die within 3-5 years depending on size. Treatment is the only way to save Ash Trees from this 100% fatal pest.

"Over the past 12 years, government and university researchers have extensively studied Emerald Ash Borer and how to control it," says Lou Giroud, ISA Certified Arborist and President of Giroud Tree and Lawn, a tree service company. Research has proven that biannual trunk injections of TREE-age, Emamectin benzoate, provide the best control against Emerald Ash Borer.

Considered the most destructive forest pest ever seen in North America according to EmeraldAshBorer.info, Emerald Ash Borer kill Ash Trees when the larvae tunnel beneath the bark, stop food and water movement and starve the tree to death.

Property owners living in the high risk zones of Bucks County, Montgomery County PA and parts of Philadelphia need to take action to control Emerald Ash Borer. The following steps help to ensure Ash trees are properly evaluated and treated:

Reaching average heights of more than 80 feet tall and girths as much as 6 feet around, Ash Trees are a valuable part of many landscapes. Losing a tree of this size and stature will have a lasting impact on area homes, businesses and communities. Early detection and treatment to control this deadly pest are keys to preserving Ash trees in the Philadelphia region.

CHATER, Man. -- High water rates have Chater residents drowning in "atrocious" bills, and some say it may force them to move out of the village.

Since the RM of Cornwallis took over the community's water management last summer, residents have experienced soaring water costs -- in some cases bills have tripled or quadrupled.

"Something's got to be done," said Carol Pashnyk, a Chater resident of 15 years. "We're just so terribly, terribly upset with our ridiculous water rates... It's unreal."

Carol and her husband George Pashnyk are retired and on a fixed income. They were shocked when they received a $500 water bill for two months, when they were used to paying in the realm of $300 for six months.

"I would say the most we've ever paid in a full year -- and that's watering (the lawn) quite a bit -- is $600," she said. "Well, we paid $500 for two months."

Drowning in rising water rates

Weedkiller used in parks, millions of gardens and huge swathes of crops could be linked to cancer, a report revealed last night.

Research by a respected agency concluded that glyphosate a chemical found in hundreds of pesticide products including the Roundup range is potentially carcinogenic.

It is used on lawns and on most of Britains wheat supply. Campaigners say residues of the substance are in bread.

Dr Keith Tyrell, director of Pesticides Action Network UK, said: Councils should stop using it and the Government needs to take action. I dont want to alarm people but the safest thing to do would be to restrict this chemicals use.

The report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer part of the World Health Organisation was published in medical journal The Lancet.

It comes two years after scientists linked glyphosate to Parkinsons disease, infertility and other health problems.

Glyphosate is the worlds most widely used pesticide, generating around 1billion in global sales.

The IARC report has been blasted by US chemical giant Monsanto which manufactures the Roundup brand.

Bosses said that when the full facts are properly researched it proved its products are safe and glyphosate is not harmful.

Monsanto chief Dr Philip Miller said: We dont know how IARC could reach a conclusion that is such a dramatic departure from the conclusion reached by all regulatory agencies around the globe.

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - As the earth thaws out, and the spring rains fall on our lawns, the words of poet William Wordsworth will spring back. He wrote of a lawn being "a carpet all alive."

That's both the good news and the bad news.

The perfect lawn is a freak of nature. Lawns, like life are wild things. They contain soil, worms, bugs, cultivated grass and uncultivated plants we call weeds.

On a more nano level they contain billions of organisms, we can't see and don't know the importance of, according to Alec McClennan who owns Good Nature Organic Lawn Care.

McClennan lives in Chagrin Falls, where his favorite activities involve playing with his sons on his lawn.

He grew up in the Chagrin Valley playing backyard football and laments the trend toward artificial turf for school sports fields.

"We were lucky enough to play sports on grass and in the mud," he said. "The bumpy and uneven playing fields taught me more about the ups and downs of life. Sometimes the ball bounces your way and sometimes it doesn't."

Currently the ball is bouncing McClennan's way. His Cleveland rooted company has branches in Columbus and Akron and is growing along with a trend away from chemicals and toward organic products, such as corn gluten, a byproduct from making corn syrup. Spreading corn gluten in the early spring will help keep crabgrass at bay by feeding the soil that feeds the plants.

"Healthy grass will fight weeds," he said. "If you take care of the soil, it will grow healthier grass."

A problem with crabgrass is that people call all native plants they don't like growing in their lawn, crabgrass, he said. That means they may be using the wrong product to try and control it.
