The Asian long-horned beetle is an exotic pest native to China and North Korea that is thought to have entered the U.S. through imports of wood. Preferred species for this insect include maple, beech, birch, ash, elm, aspen, and cottonwood. Currently centered in the New York City and Chicago metropolitan areas, the latest reported infestation is in the Trenton, New Jersey area (Beach 2004). The Asian long-horned beetle poses an immediate threat to New England, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Ultimately, hardwoods in all states of the Northeast, North Central, and West regions, and all provinces of Canada, are at risk from this insect (USDA-Forest Service 1998). Control measures to date have simply involved identification and removal of infected trees. Fortunately, a new chemical pheromone has been developed in recent months to facilitate trapping and killing of adult insects and interfering with reproduction cycles. This is an exciting development, and one that could head off potentially devastating impacts from this pest.
