The Emerald Ash Borer has become a big problem in Eastern and Central United States. It was first confirmed in the United States in June 2002 in Canton, Michigan. Emeraldashborer.info states that it is suspected that it was introduced by overseas shipping containers being delivered to Yazaki North America. It has since been found in several other parts of the United States and Canada. Ohio, Minnesota, and Ontario have experienced emerald ash borer migration from Michigan. The emerald ash borer was confirmed in Indiana in April 2004, in Central Kentucky in the spring of 2009 and in Northeast Iowa in May 2010. The Emerald Ash Borer continues to destroy Emerald Ash Trees throughout Northern and Eastern America.
