What are the threats of the emerald ash borer?

The emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive wood-boring beetle from Asia, is responsible for the death and decline of tens of millions of ash trees in North America. EAB lays its eggs in the bark crevices of ash trees. The eggs hatch and the larvae burrow into the tree where they feed.

What is the best treatment for emerald ash borer?

Emerald ash borer insecticide treatment options ACECAP Systemic Insecticide Tree Implants (acephate) BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control (imidacloprid) BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Protect & Feed (imidacloprid) BioAdvanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Protect & Feed II (imidacloprid + clothianidin)

What is the environmental impact of the emerald ash borer?

Ash trees have a wide geographic distribution and are an important component of many different forest types in the US. The larval feeding behavior of the emerald ash borer (EAB) effectively girdles the tree's phloem tissue resulting in tree mortality in as little as 2 years and stand mortality in as little as 5 years.

How to catch emerald ash borer?

Males, which tend to hover near the canopy of ash trees (Rodriguez-Saona et al., 2007), are captured in higher proportions in green traps hung in the canopy of ash trees and baited with green leaf volatiles; in contrast, females, that oviposit on the trunks of ash trees are captured in higher proportions in purple

Why do we care about the emerald ash borer?

EAB is the most destructive forest pest in recorded history. Once an ash tree is infected, it can become extremely fragile and the likelihood of large branches, or the whole tree, falling onto people or property rises exponentially. Treatment of ash trees or removal of trees is recommended.

Why was the emerald ash borer introduced to the US?

This sneaky beetle most likely hitched a ride on infected ash wood used in shipping and got a free ride to the United States. Native to northeast Asia, this beetle only infects dying ash trees in its home range. However, once introduced, these insects began a devastating crusade against our native ash trees.

What damage can the emerald ash borer cause?

The emerald ash borer's larval stage is responsible for the damage that leads to the death of its host. The larvae's feeding under the tree bark, eventually damaging the tree's ability to transport moisture and nutrients from the soil to the tree's leaves, causes ash tree decline and death.

How is the emerald ash borer a threat to local biodiversity?

Emerald ash borer infestations cause significant ecological and economic impacts in forested and urban habitats. In forest habitats, losing the majority of ash trees can affect tree species composition, natural forest succession, and nutrient cycling. Habitats also become more vulnerable to invasion by exotic plants.
