Quarantine and removal: When an emerald ash borer infestation occurs, local and state governments will likely impose a quarantine to help prevent the spread of such infestations. Transport of ash wood outside of the quarantined areas is prohibited in case the wood has live emerald ash borer larvae. Infested trees are often removed in urban areas and replaced with a different tree species while infested trees in rural areas are harvested for lumber or firewood. If an infested tree on private property needs to be removed, it is best to have a professional provide tree removal.
