Emerald ash borer (EAB) is an invasive wood-boring insect. Native to China and Eastern Asia, this beetle was first detected in North America in 2002. EAB attacks and kills healthy and stressed ash trees. All ash trees are susceptible to EAB in varying degrees, and 99% of ash trees are killed within 8-10 years of the beetle arriving in an area. Once detected, EAB cannot be eradicated. EAB was first detected in Winnipeg in 2017. Read More
