1:55Now PlayingA scary-sounding insect is helping Minnesota in its battle against one of the worst pests for trees.
The emerald ash borer threatens Minnesota's estimated 1 billion ash trees, a scale that makes widespread insecticide application cost-prohibitive and impractical for forests.
To combat this, tiny, non-stinging wasps are being deployed, specifically targeting and feeding on the pest's eggs and larvae without harming humans.
The initiative aims to slow the borer's spread, giving the vulnerable ash trees a crucial chance to survive and potentially develop natural defenses.
