Unfortunately the program was not well publicized. <BR/>to Chris: Just because you didn't have a problem last year doesn't mean you're safe... the infestation has moved around in the city for years. Call Don McSween, city arborist, to find out if your area is classified as "threatened." You can get his contact info by calling 311.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-1165511380157765422006-12-07T12:09:00.000-05:002006-12-07T12:09:00.000-05:00No one on my street has ever put up bands, and we ...No one on my street has ever put up bands, and we don't have a problem.

If you can't do all your trees, do the willow oaks and other taller trees. <BR/>As for neighbors who won't band, instead of suing, why not ask them if you can band their trees? That's what we did and it shamed many of our neighbors into banding. Every willow oak on our street is banded now.<BR/>HURRY UP!
