Introduction
Much damage to timber and finished wood products
Damage to cut timber and finished products especially serious because damage comes after much investment
Estimated – 1-5 % annual cut

Asian Longhorned beetle is unusual:
1) It attacks healthy trees
2) It spends major part of life cycle in Phloem, not Xylem
3) It kills healthy trees
4) Adults feed on the twig bark of healthy trees. Wounds serve as entry sites for pathogens.

4th instar larvae and/or pupae commonly infest wood used forshipping crates and arrive alive in US.
Untreated wood is commonly used for shipping crates andpallets = ‘dunage’

First found in Brooklyn, NY - 1996
Second infestation found in Long Island, NY in 1996
Later, in 1999 found in Chicago, IL
2002 – established infestation in Jersey City, New York
Quarantined area within a 1.5 mile radius of site – all trees were cut & burned

Clear cut trees around infestation.
Strengthened importation rules on crates using wood & dunage.
Believed to be eradicated & not yet established.

Emerald ash borer: Newly introduced pest
•Discovered 2002 in Michigan •Attacks all species of Fraxinus, as well as some Ulmus, & Juglans spp.Larval galleries girdle branches and trees
•Trees often die 2-3 years afterInfestation
•Established!
![Page 22: Insects Attacking Forest Products. Introduction Much damage to timber and finished wood products Damage to cut timber and finished products especially.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051001/56649cb05503460f9497577f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Since 2002: Emerald Ash Borer
• Killed at least 8 - 10 million ash trees in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Most of the mortality is in southeastern Michigan.
• Resulted in quarantines in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan and fines to prevent infested ash trees, logs or firewood from moving out of areas where EAB occurs.
• Cost municipalities, property owners, nursery operators and forest products industries tens of millions of dollars.

Emerald Ash Borer: Signs/Symptoms
• Distinct, D-shaped exit holes in the bark• Serpentine-shaped tunnels under the
bark on the surface of the wood• Young sprout growth clustered at the
base of the tree• Unusual activity by woodpeckers• Die-back on the top third of the tree• Vertical splits in the bark

Management & Control
1. Quarantine of wood/trees Intra- and Inter-state from Michigan with stiff fines
2. Early detection in quarantined areas
3.Eradication of infested material
4.Researching possible insecticide use – expensive and difficult

Ambrosia Beetles
Early observers noted droplets of a fluid in the beetle galleries. Called it “ambrosia” hence their name
Found in both conifer and hardwoodtree species

General Feeding Habits of Ambrosia Beetles
1. Invade wood but do not feed on phloem or xylem
2. Inoculate galleries in the xylem with fungus, adults and larvae feed on mycelium

Many customers demand high quality, defect free lumber.
Especially the export markets
Holes in wood, or stains not acceptable.Bundled timber with insect damage must be unpacked, sorted repacked.
Management for beetles expensive and adds to lumber costs.

•Flies in spring to felled trees or logs
•Females produce pheromone / mate
•Tunnels into sap wood of tree and lays eggs in the “Cradles”
•Inoculates fungus which stains wood black
•Mycelia gardens – food for larvae & adults

1. Timber must be used & processed quickly / kiln dry
2. Keep wood wet - sprinklers
3. Use insecticides or repellants on log decks.
4. Set pheromones away from deck
(Last two steps significantly increase lumber costs)
