    Was hoping for a more in depth article or something different. Heard about these last year also. Hopefully it works but doesn't seem like the right way about it.

    So if the wasps don't find any ash borers, what do they feed on then?

    The EAB is just getting here, just a few have been seen. But there is no doubt what awaits us. If these parasitic wasps work, it could save us here in northern New England the destruction the rest of you have seen.
