I found two hitchhikers in my wood so far. Not sure which dealer they came in with. One came from Schoharie County, one for Washington County, both in NY. I suspect the black birch I got from a guy in Washington Co. because the only other wood I've gotten this season is white ash, and they aren't supposed to be big on attacking ash trees.
Are these bugs resistant to pesticides? I want to spray all my wood so none of these critters get out into the wild to spread. Problem is that all of the black birch is under two feet of snow, so it will be pretty hard to spray it.
Any advice? I really don't want to let these things get out to spread their destruction.
