Exit Wounds

A silent killer is on the loose in Missouri. He ravages communities in neighboring states and his sites are set on us. You haven't heard about him yet? Don't feel alone, his signature modus operandi is not yet public knowledge.

It isn't humans he's after, but he steals, kills and destroys a precious resource. This criminal is best known for boring into the heart of his victim. He tunnels his way just under the skin, stealing life at a torturous rate. Slowly squeezing, until breath ceases to exist. Upon total devasation, he leaves behind a distinctive mark, an exit wound; the only evidence to confirm it was he.

His mode of transportation is even more alarming. He hitchhikes from destination to destination, often unbeknownst to the traveler in whose vehicle he rides. He may be hidden in yours. You can check if you know where to look.

Who is the silent killer who wants to invade Missouri? He is the Emerald Ash Borer and his unique exit wound threatens to sculpt destruction across our wooded landscape. Does it matter to you? It should. How does it affect you? Follow our blog and we'll tell you. Can you make a difference? Absolutely!
