About this listen
The Asian longhorned beetle has the makings of a disaster pest poster — a wide possible geographic and climatic range, a number of host trees, and few control options. Lucky for us, it just doesn't seem to spread far on its own. There are biocontrol and predator options, but nothing is ideal, or especially effective. At this time, there isn't much we can do other than chop down and chip infested trees.
