I'm in my second year of an Emerald Ash Borer infestation (courtesy of campers who introduced the bug to the local state park, from which is has spread outward), and expect to lose over half of the trees (roughly 150) in my small woods before it's done. I'm treating 10 trees in high value locations to try to keep them alive while replacements grow.
Quite a fine bit of CSI detective work there, tracing those exact bugs back to "campers" :R
All the wood, wind, vehicles, trucks, etc that move across these area every second and people are quick to blame the "bad ol' camper dudes" and their darn armload of firewood :h
I can't remember the last fumigation checkpoint we passed as we crossed from one area into another on the Turnpike ;)
Just because two things exist at the same time does not establish a cause and effect relationship.
