What is the possibility of the insect surviving transit to Missouri?
High. EAB can survive under the bark of ash trees. In fact, the primary way this insect is moved is in firewood. We strongly encourage campers to leave the hardwood firewood at home and to use only local sources of firewood. If you must bring firewood, it is strongly suggested that you burn all of it. No hardwood firewood can be moved out of an area that has been quarantined (i.e., Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, etc.).
