ALB infestations have been found in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Toronto, Canada. In July 2006, the quarantine in Illinois was lifted since no more ALB beetles have been found in the area. In order to eradicate this pest, quarantines have been established around infested areas in New York, New Jersey and Illinois in the United States, as well as in Toronto, Canada, where beetles or their damage have been found. A quarantine is a legal measure taken by a state or federal agency to prohibit the spread of a pest from one area to another. Special guidelines have been developed for handling wood and planting trees in these zones. Below are the most recent maps of ALB infestation in these areas. For map archives, click here. Quarantine zones change with new discoveries of ALB. Contact 1-800-201-PARK for the most recent information on the New York quarantine, and (866) BEETLE1 for information on the New Jersey quarantine. If you live or work in a quarantine zone, you must follow these guidelines:
