Firewood from Menards--Please read!!! VERY URGENT

[Realtree]

If you have purchased any firewood from Menards===>>>BURN IT IMMEDIATELY !

In reading several articles I have found on this Emerald Ash Borer issue, they believe it has been brought over from Asia in firewood that is imported to be sold at area Menards stores across the upper midwest.

Here are some articles from MN, Iowa and Wisconsin that I have found regarding Menards firewood and this bug.

If you have bundled Taylor Hardwoods Firewood for sale or come across an outlet that does, please see that it is not sold and notify conservation authorities. Do not wait to destroy this product because any beetle larvae it may contain will continue to grow until they emerge as adults looking for new trees to infest in June.


There are no known insecticide treatments to stop this newest threat to our native trees. Our best hope so far is to slow its spread. If you or anyone you know has purchased bundled firewood from any Menards or convenience store in recent weeks, please burn it now.
