- If folks think they might have EAB in their trees, we recommend that first they check the above Missouri EAB web sites or the national site ( www.emeraldashborer.info/ ) to learn exactly what signs and symptoms to look for. Then, they can report suspect trees by either calling the EAB toll-free phone: 866-716-9974 , or reporting via the web with the online form at:
