EAB Found in Juniata County
Emerald Ash Borer beetles have been found in Juniata County, bringing to 11 the number of Pennsylvania counties where the ash tree-destroying pest has been identified.
Acting Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding says a state-imposed quarantine is being expanded to include Juniata County. He's reminding people to use only locally harvested firewood, burn all of the firewood on-site, and not carry it to new locations.
The invasive beetle was first detected in Pennsylvania in the summer of 2007 in Butler County, and subsequently was found in Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Indiana, Lawrence, Mercer, Mifflin, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
It's also been found in Cattaraugus County, New York, near Randolph.
