The Gypsy Moth |
|
The Gypsy Moth has been in America for over 40 years. It started in Massachusetts and has worked its way to the Midwest. The gypsy moth is known to feed on on the foliage of hundreds of species of plants in North America, but its most common hosts are oaks and aspen. Millions of acres of hardwood forests and millions of landscape trees have been destroyed.

The Emerald Ash Borer
|
The first Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) was spotted in Ohio in 2003. Now, the pests are killing trees in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Ontario, with spot outbreaks due to infested nursery trees in Maryland and Virginia. Ash trees infested with EAB typically die within 3-5 years. Unfortunately, destroying Ash trees within the insects natural spread is the only way of eradicating EAB within an infested area.

The Asian Long-Horned Beetle |
|
The ALB is a serious threat to U.S. trees. ALB larvae bore deep into deciduous hardwood trees such as maple, elm, birch, horsechestnut, poplar, willow and ash, eventually killing them. Originally found in China, Korea, and Japan, scientists believe that the beetle probably hitch-hiked here on shipments of packing material. Active infestations are located in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Ohio.
