Lure-baited traps are a primary detection tool used to delimit and survey the extent of the pest infestation. Without these lures, defining an infestation might not be possible. The ultimate cost to the states which become infested with EAB could be billions of dollars in forest products, and quarantines imposed by state and federal agencies may have dire consequences for plant and wood products industries. Severe damage would also occur within the tourist industry. USDA is seeking a quantity of 10,000 Hexenol Lures (Z-3-hexenol plastic pouched lure).
