The Effect of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid on the Health of the Eastern Hemlock
This website discusses the impact of the non-native insect and methods of control.
This introduced insect has had a negative impact on the Hemlock population of southern Connecticut. The hemlock woolly adelgid has no predators so it can spread easily. A thorough application of insecticidal soap can control the pest in an urban setting, but is costly and impractical in the forest. The website details the results of a study on the devastation of hemlock populations.
