Asian Longhorned Beetle
The Asian Longhorned Beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis, or
ALB) is a threat to America's hardwood trees. With no current cure,
early identification and eradication are critical to its control. It currently
infests areas in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Ohio. It threatens
recreation and forest resources valued at billions of dollars. The ALB has the
potential to cause more damage than Dutch elm disease, chestnut blight and gypsy
moths combined, destroying millions of acres of America's treasured hardwoods,
including national forests and backyard trees.The ALB attacks hardwood tres including:
Maple, Ash, & Elm.

Emerald Ash Borer
The Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis or EAB) is
responsible for the destruction of tens of millions of ash trees in 15 states in
the Midwest and Northeast. Native to Asia, it likely arrived in the United
States hidden in wood packing materials. The first U.S. identification of
Emerald Ash Borer was in southeastern Michigan in 2002. It is especially
dangerous because there is no known treatment for EAB infestations – trees must
be felled and the wood disposed of. The Emerald Ash Borer attacks Ash Trees.

European Gypsy Moth
The European Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar or EGM) is
native to Europe and first arrived in the United States in Massachusetts in
1869. This moth is a significant pest because the caterpillars have voracious
appetites for more than 300 species of trees and shrubs, posing a danger to
North America's forests. The caterpillars defoliate trees, leaving trees
vulnerable to diseases and other pests and can eventually kill the tree. Early
detection is critical to limiting the spread of EGM's spread.The European Gypsy
Moth attacks more than 300 species of trees and shrubs.
