Emerald Ash Borer

 

The emerald ash borer has killed about 15 million ash trees in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois since it was discovered near Detroit in 2002. It's the pest that everyone has been talking about. But did you know that homeowners play a critical role in stopping the spread of this deadly infestation? It's true. Indiana officials in charge of stopping the spread of the EAB have come to rely on private property owners throughout the state to help them track the bug's movements. So how can you tell if the emerald ash borer has made its home on your property? And who do you call for help if you suspect your trees are suffering with these unwelcome guests? Purdue University's entomology department has put together the answers for you, here: Homeowners play key role in discovery of emerald ash borer.
