  4. Fighting emerald ash borer

    Q: We have a beautiful, full ash tree on the berm in back of our house, which at this point is free from the emerald ash borer. Last summer it was fully leafed out, and we have checked the bark for tell-tale signs of the borer such as small D-shaped holes. The tree is about 12 inches in diameter. I would like to do everything possible to keep this tree healthy and would like to drench the soil with Bayer Advanced Tree &amp; Shrub Insect Control containing imidacloprid. Because the application is to be placed around the base of the tree, how far out from the base can I go? The tree is directly on the top of the berm, with a downward slope to the front and back of the tree. After removing the mulch, should I dig down an inch or so to help prevent runoff? Can the drench be done on subsequent days if the soil is too wet to fully absorb it in a single day? When should I treat the tree?
