EAB Infestations Confirmed

Emerald Ash Borer Adult

Infestations Confirmed in Kentucky

As of May 2009, Kentucky Division of Forestry and University of Kentucky officials confirmed the first cases of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestations in Kentucky.  Currently, the insect has been found in Fayette, Franklin, Kenton, Jefferson, Jessamine and Shelby counties.  EAB is an insect pest of ash trees and has destroyed over 25 million trees since the first infestations were discovered in Michigan in 2002.  A quarantine which regulates the interstate movement of ash trees has been initiated by USDA in an effort to prevent the spread of EAB.  Visit Emerald Ash Borer for more information.  Visit University of Kentucky Entomology for current information on the spread of EAB in Kentucky. Visit EAB Map for a map of the current distribution of EAB in North America. View the Forest Industry - EAB Quarantine Fact Sheet to answer many ash transporting questions.
