The BAD News: hemlock woolly adelgids, an Asian- introduced insect that has already killed millions of hemlock trees from Canada to Georgia, are now here on Lookout Mountain! In as little as two to five years, all untreated hemlocks will be dead!
The GOOD News: research has proven the effectiveness of several different products and treatment techniques in killing these nasty little critters. As a homeowner, you have these options:
