[QUOTE="mainewoods, post: 4850412, member: 40238"] According to one of the most exhaustive scientific studies ever done in the US, it is estimated that the EAB was infecting trees in Michigan 10-12 years before they were discovered in 2002. The beetle lives about 20 days and can fly at least 1/2 mile from the tree it emerged from. The larvae live under the bark of a tree from July to May of the following year when they emerge as adults. EAB larvae has been found in saplings and branches as small as 1" in dia. Moving firewood,logs and nursery stock from an infected area to a non-infected area is without a doubt the fastest way to speed up the spread of EAB. Not my words, the scientists words. Unfortunately the further firewood is moved, the faster the EAB is spread. Logs, trucked over longer distances, is even worse. Makes sense to me. We never had opossum's in Maine before,until they hitched a ride in tractor trailer truck boxes. Now they are everywhere. [/QUOTE]
