Emerald Ash Borer Infestation Spreads

Share this...

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Information Network reported that the spread of the EAB has infested nearly all of the eastern U.S. and Canadian provinces. Additional sightings of the pest have been in another dozen U.S. counties as recently as mid-summer this year.

EAB has killed hundreds of millions of Ash trees in North America, and cost municipalities, property owners, and the forest product industry hundreds of millions of dollars. The accidental introduction of the EAB to North America was from Asia. Speculation is that they arrived in the U.S. on solid wood packing material carried in cargo ships or airplanes. Ash trees are the only North American trees attacked by EAB. Learn more at www.emeraldashborer.info.
