Bark Beetle Season Is Here | Protect Your Trees!
Here is some information Sheri Lee Smith, Regional Entomologist for the Forest Health Protection division of the USDA Forest Service provided us on insecticides.
“The most common method of protecting individual trees from bark beetle attack is to spray the tree bole with insecticides registered for this use (e.g., carbaryl, or the pyrethroids bifenthrin or permethrin). If applied properly, carbaryl treatments generally provide two years of protection for most pine species; pyrethroid treatments generally provide one year of protection.
Research trials are ongoing using the active ingredient emamectin benzoate and a fungicide to determine their efficacy for preventing tree mortality caused by mountain pine beetle and western pine beetles.”
