WHAT IS AN EMERALD ASH BORER?  

• Emerald Ash Borer is a highly destructive invasive pest that arrived from Asia, most likely in untreated ash wood used for packing material.
• In North America, EAB was first detected in Windsor, ON and Detroit, MI (2002).
• EAB was likely present in these areas for several years prior to discovery.
• The rapid spread of EAB has been hastened by the inadvertent human transport of beetle-contaminated firewood and other infested ash materials.
• EAB beetles:
  • metallic green in color
  • about 1/2 inch long and an 1/8 inch wide
  • body is narrow and elongated, and the head is flat
  • eyes are kidney shaped and usually black.
  • feed on leaves and lay eggs from June to August
• EAB larvae:
  • white and flat, with distinctive bell-shaped segments
  • grow up to 1 inch long
  • feed on inner bark, cutting off water and nutrient flow
• EAB attacks all species of True Ash (Fraxinus spp.) found in North America.
• EAB kills True Ash of any size or age, even healthy trees.
• EAB does not attack or kill Mountain Ash.
