Emerald
Ash Borer
Firewood recently found at a Menard's store by the Minnesota Department
of Agriculture was improperly imported from a supplier located within
a quarantine area for emerald ash borer. Emerald ash borer is a destructive
insect pest that has killed millions of ash trees in Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio, and Ontario, Canada, and so far has not been identified
in Minnesota. If you have purchased firewood from any Menard's store since
last summer, burn it immediately to destroy emerald ash borer eggs, larvae
or pupating adult insects that could be in the firewood. You can direct
any emerald ash borer questions to the City's Natural Resources Division
at 952-953-2571.
