(KMZA)--The Kansas Forest Service and the Kansas Department of Agriculture have confirm that emerald ash borer beetles have been detected in Marshall County.
It's the fourth Kansas county in which the destructive beetle has been detected this year.
Officials say the emerald ash borer is an exotic, invasive beetle from eastern Russia and northeastern Asia that likely came to the U.S. in infested packing material.
The beetle threatens urban and rural forests by killing North American ash trees.
State ecologists are asking Kansans to avoid bringing firewood from another state or county where the beetle has been detected.
