The Pesky Pest Preoccupation

So, we have several government agencies cooperatively monitoring the little green beetle from Korea:
The Region of York, The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, The Provincial Ministry of  Environment,conservation authorities and six municipalities  in the Region.
Conservation authorities are Lake Ontario and Lake Simcoe.
So there you have it:
A little green bug contentedly munching its way unimpeded  under the bark of ash trees throughout the region  being  monitored by a dozen different government agencies.
York Region is the only media release I have received.
Nothing new is communicated. No dramatic discovery. No warnings of what to do in the citing  of.
Just information  and a picture of a green box hanging in a tree fifteen  feet  off the ground that should not be touched. They have an adhesive substance on the outside and  emerald ash borer attracting substance on the inside. 
There are warning signs not to touch the boxes because they might cause mild skin irritation  and  there's information about the emerald ash borer.
Short of spending millions of dollars over decades  in a futile effort to fight the colourful  critter from doing what emerald ash borers are born to do, there is no option  but let them chomp away,and replace ash trees with a different species as  decimation proceeds.
All this has  happened before. 
No great calamity ensued.
The planet has not been denuded.
The human species has  survived
But we have the comfort of knowing York Region Stands Guard. 
They can't do a  thing about  the bug. 
But they are watching it. 
Think of  the green moolah, they have been able to dispose of in the process of not disposing of the emerald ash borer.
