Abstract
The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is a destructive invasive insect pest that has caused almost 100% ash mortality where it has spread in North America. Native to Asia, EAB was accidentally introduced in Michigan in the 1990s and has since spread across North America, killing hundreds of millions of ash trees. In June 2022, EAB was found infesting ash in northwest Oregon, near the Washington border. This publication summarizes EAB identification and current management recommendations. A separate Washington State University Extension publication, titled Emerald Ash Borer and Its Implications for Wash ington State, is available for readers looking for detailed information (Zobrist et al. 2023).
