Updated Asian Longhorned Beetle Map

March 29th, 2024

Asian longhorned beetle is an invasive, wood-boring pest that is federally regulated. First detected in New York in 1992, ALB spread to several states with its most recent population being detected in South Carolina in 2020. Due to ALB causing significant damage to host trees and having a big economic impact, eradication is the main goal. Check out this map from USDA APHIS to see the current ALB infestations and successfully eradicated populations across the US.
