Summary
The emerald ash borer has officially arrived in Bismarck, with city crews spotting telltale signs—bark tunnels and D-shaped exit holes—and even catching the pest itself. First spotted in Oregon in 2004, this invasive beetle has since spread rapidly across the U.S. and is now wreaking havoc on millions of ash trees in Europe. Once dominant in North Dakota’s forests, ash trees are now under serious threat as this voracious insect can lay up to 75 eggs per adult and kills roughly 30% of affected trees. With no sign of slowing down, experts warn homeowners and communities must act fast to protect their ash trees before it’s too late.
