Answered for Greenwood, Johnson County.
Confirmed in Indiana and spreading, though not yet the everyday problem it is further east. Worth reporting a sighting to the state rather than just treating it. In Greenwood, two separate canopies in one city. The pre-1960 blocks around Old Town and near County Line Road hold Greenwood's only genuinely mature shade trees — just 9% of the housing stock predates 1960 — while the subdivisions east of I-65 are 2000s-era plantings still small enough to prune off a ladder. Ash is functionally gone: emerald ash borer has been confirmed in Indiana since April 2004 and is now in all 92 counties. Damages rather than kills most trees, but the honeydew and mould make a yard unusable.

Grey egg masses that look like smeared mud, sticky honeydew and black sooty mould underneath the tree.

Scrape egg masses in winter; treat nymphs in spring.
