Cerceris fumipennis - a biosurveillance tool for Emerald Ash Borer

The Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) (EAB) is devastating eastern North America’s ash trees, girdling and killing the host. EAB has proven difficult to detect using traditional methods of ground/visual surveys and sticky traps, both of which are costly, labour- intensive and at times destructive or impractical. Biosurveillance, using another species to survey for a pest species, offers an alternative approach for the detection and survey of EAB populations. This guide describes the use of a native wasp, Cerceris fumipennis (Say) as a biosurveillance tool to detect and monitor for EAB in Canada and the United States. The guide is available in English and French.
