A pernicious pest

The emerald ash borer is the “worst forest pest ever” to hit the United States, according to Joe Chamberlin, Valent’s field development manager for the Southeast. The tiny green insects have infested thousands of trees across the country and show no signs of stopping. And as cities reel from the impact, LCOs have an opportunity to help stanch the bleeding. L&L Editor Chuck Bowen talks with Chamberlin to learn how contractors can help control and prevent EAB for their clients, and use the pest as an opportunity to provide top-notch customer service.
