Monitoring and distribution of emerald ash borer in Tennessee: Efficient, effective trapping gets the job done

Emerald ash borer (EAB) was first discovered in Tennessee in 2010. Since its initial discovery 11 counties in eastern Tennessee have been quarantined, restricting movement of ash from these to uninfested areas. Advances in trapping methods have improved the ability of regulators to detect and monitor where EAB occurs in the state. However, as trapping efforts increase, EAB will undoubtedly be documented from and increasingly larger area.
