Wood Boring Insect Detection System Background:Forest pest damage costs the U.S. billions of dollars annually, according to experts. And that cost could skyrocket if certain non-native insect species were to spread more widely across the nation. Tens of millions of acres of tree cover, both urban and rural, are potentially at risk.One of the biggest threats to houses comes in the form...
