State confirms fifth emerald ash borer in Creston area
The emerald ash borer infestation is confirmed in Creston marking the state's fifth established location. Officials say the beetle population is expanding across Iowa with multiple counties under quarantine and ongoing surveys. Authorities warn that firewood movement spreads the pest and consider broader restrictions. Rural and urban ash trees face potentially billions in removal and treatment costs. The state continues urban inventories and urges preventive treatments near known infestations.
