Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)

Emerald Ash Borer, (EAB) 🪲 is the cause of arguably the most catastrophic tree death event in the history of North America.

Once EAB populations begin to build, nearly all ash trees in the forest, swamp or urban areas are likely to become infested and die — often within a time span of only a few years. ... More than 60 million ash trees, ranging from one inch to five feet in diameter, have been killed by EAB in this area alone.

The adult beetles nibble on ash foliage but cause little damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients.

The best early sign of EAB infestation in an area is woodpecker feeding on the main upper limbs and large branches of ash trees. Woodpeckers are important predators of EAB living under the bark of ash trees.
