Emerald ash borer reaches Mercer County in West Virginia
The West Virginia Department of Agriculture added Mercer County to its list of infestations for emerald ash borer, joining Ritchie, Braxton, Hampshire, Mineral, Lewis and Lincoln counties. The beetle, metallic green and under half an inch, is active mainly in summer and creates D shaped holes in ash trunks. Officials warn that movement of ash firewood spreads the pest and urge campers not to transport firewood between sites. For questions call 304-558-2212.
