It must be used in conjunction with an overall control program which includes sanitation practices, such as cutting out hopelessly in fected trees, pruning and fertilizing healthy trees and vigilant control of the elm bark beetle which is the spreader of the blight. Two EPA registered pesticides recommended for control of the beetles are Methozychlor oil and Dicrotophos.
