Emerald Ash
Borer: Prevention
Arbor Day
and Removal 2021
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an
invasive beetle from Asia. It was first
discovered in the United States in
2002 near Detroit, Michigan and has
spread throughout the Midwest. EAB
has quickly become one of the most
destructive and costly forest insects in
urban forest history.
EAB larvae feed on the inner bark of ash
trees which disrupts the tree‘s ability to
transport water and nutrients. Once
an ash tree is infested, it has almost
zero chance of survival. The only way
to protect your trees is with treatment.
Lack of treatment will result in the
eventual need to remove the tree. The
City has taken steps to establish criteria
for contractors that preventatively treat
EAB. This helps to provide residents
with confidence that they will receive
services from a competent contractor
at a fair price. For example, each
contractor has been in business a
minimum of five years and has agreed
to a per-tree charge of no more than Arbor Day was celebrated
