Emerald Ash Borer Update


If you, or anyone you know, will be taking down an ash tree that shows symptoms of emerald ash borer (EAB) infestation in the metro area, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) would like to come out and inspect your tree for EAB. This inspection would be done at no cost and would greatly help our efforts at controlling the pest's spread.

If you are interested in participating, please contact the Arrest the Pest hotline by calling 651-201-6684 or by emailing arrest.the.pest@state.mn.us and ask to be put in touch with EAB survey staff.

The survey recently located more borers in the middle of the Univ. of MN St. Paul campus.
