Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) was recently confirmed in Minneapolis and St. Paul. This is the first infestation of the destructive pest in Minnesota. EAB was first discovered in Michigan in 2002 and has since been found in nine surrounding states. To date, there is no known treatment or widespread prevention for this insect.
