aPhinity EAB

Advanced Emerald Ash Borer Detection and Monitoring

aPhinity EAB is a patent-protected pheromone lure developed to support the early detection and monitoring of Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) populations across forestry and urban tree environments. Utilized in North America and Europe, this highly targeted monitoring tool helps forestry professionals, municipalities, researchers, and land managers improve surveillance programs and strengthen integrated pest management strategies.

Designed to mimic the natural female sex pheromone of the Emerald Ash Borer, aPhinity EAB attracts male beetles to canopy traps for more effective detection. When used in combination with aPhinity Hexenol, trap captures and detection rates are significantly enhanced, particularly in areas with low-density populations where early identification is critical. By improving monitoring sensitivity, aPhinity EAB supports proactive management decisions before visible tree decline becomes widespread.

Target Pest Information

Emerald Ash Borer

(Agrilus planipennis)

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is one of the most destructive invasive pests affecting ash trees across North America. The larvae feed beneath the bark, disrupting the movement of water and nutrients and eventually causing canopy decline, branch dieback, and tree mortality.

Because infestations are often difficult to detect during the early stages, monitoring plays a critical role in protecting both urban and natural ash tree populations. Early detection helps identify new infestations, track pest movement and population development, support treatment decisions, and improve long-term forestry planning and surveillance programs.
