[Greenbuilding] Tree inoculation against Emerald Ash Borer

[RT]

Just wondering if people on this list might have some experience in  
dealing with the Emerald Ash Borer that is currently responsible for  
thousands if not millions of Ash trees being destroyed ?

In the City of Ottawa alone, the City is expecting to have over 2,500  
tonnes of ash trees cut from City-owned property for which they need to  
find a disposal solution and it expects that number to increase to 5,000  
tonnes by 2015.

As is usually the case, pro-active approaches are more effective so I'm  
hoping to encourage those in my community to consider a do-it-ourselves  
tree inoculation program (rather than wait for the City to decide that  
it's a good idea) whereby we find a source for Neem oil, do a bulk  
purchase and then provide property owners with instructions on mix  
proportions, dosage and application.

The video in the link below seems to indicate that it's relatively easy to  
do:

I'm also wondering if perhaps our Southern US states listmembers might  
know of more local sources for the Neem oil than its native India.
