Welcome to Wisconsin's Emerald Ash Borer Information Source! Emerald ash borer was found in southeast Wisconsin in August of 2008. The purpose of this website is to provide clear and timely information about EAB to those affected by, or potentially affected by, the insect's presence in our state. Please visit this site often to stay informed about this invasive pest.

Keeping you informed with news and information updates... NEW: We've received lots of calls recently on the Hotline from people who think they've found EAB on their property. Almost all of these turn out to be our native tiger beetle. For pictures of the tiger beetle and other insects commonly mistaken for EAB, click here. One of the most important and effective defenses we have against emerald ash borer is early detection. Today, learn what EAB looks like and how to spot it. Your knowledge and action may give our ash trees a fighting chance tomorrow. If you suspect an infestation of emerald ash borer (EAB), please contact us immediately by calling 1-800-462-2803 or e-mailing DATCPEmeraldAshBorer@wisconsin.gov Emerald ash borer is spreading rapidly with human help. Please keep firewood and other ash products local. Stay updated on firewood rules and advice and EAB quarantines and regulations. Slowing the spread is up to you! Featured Items Archives
