Marshall and Tama Counties have been added to the list of those with emerald ash borer infestations.
Mike Kintner of the Iowa Department of Agriculture says a land owner north of Le Grand spotted the tell-tale signs of woodpecker damage on an ash tree, and experts confirmed EAB larvae.
The ash-tree killing insect has been detected in 55 Iowa counties. Kintner says they get more EAB reports this time of year, while trees are dormant, and land-owners can easily spot the damage.
He says if you're in a county, where EAB has not been found yet, and you see damage, you're asked to contact the Iowa DNR.
