New CFIA measures protect uninfested areas of Canada from the Emerald Ash Borer
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is continuing to protect Canadian trees from the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) by implementing two new spread-limiting measures.
The CFIA establishes regulated areas to restrict the movement of potentially infested wood items from areas where the emerald ash borer (EAB) exists. On April 1, 2014, the Agency will consolidate most of the regulated areas into one large area in Ontario and Quebec. This large area will include Highways 400, 401, 416 and 417 in Ontario and Highways 15, 20, 40 and 50 in Quebec.
Also, as part of the long term strategy to manage EAB, the CFIA has approved the release of two stingless wasps as new biological control agents to combat the spread of EAB. One wasp that has now been released in limited areas in southwestern Ontario by Natural Resources Canada is Tetrastichus planipennisi.

- Bruce County, ON
- Frontenac County, ON
- Municipalité régionale de comté (MRC) des Collines-de-l'Outaouais, QC
- Municipalité régionale de comté (MRC) de Papineau, QC
