Emerald ash borer is a quarantined invasive species. Items that could transport this insect may not be moved without permission from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a very destructive insect pest of ash trees.
EAB attacks all species of North American ash. Once an ash is attacked by EAB, it will be killed if it is not protected.
Ash trees can be protected from EAB with available insecticides.
EAB will move only about one half to one mile a year from infested sites. But people can carry it hundreds of miles when transporting firewood and other wood products or nursery stock.
