Got hit again with pine tree borers,,, pine bark Beatles ?

This happen a few years back and had to take down several trees that where too far gone.... dead

Was able to save a few with a good soaking of lindane.... I stopped the spring treatment thinking I was in the clear...not!

Wouldn’t be too big a deal except the worst hit tree is a monster in the back yard and way more than I can handle and no way for equipment to get back there....

Maybe I’ll get lucky and this lindane treatment stops the little bastards....

most likely have to take down the other infested trees,, “after fishing season of course “. :-)

Be sure that there aren't some that might come down on their own during a bad storm...

Roger that

Coincidence, channel 5 just had a segment about pine bark Beatles on CC, looks like I’m screwed... :smash:

We have them in southern RI, too. I've had several die and come down in the woods, but I have a dead one next to the drive that I'll have to take down this fall. Got a biggie close to the back deck, still alive and well, but I watch it for signs of the buggers digging there holes into it.

EPA outlawed Lindane, now there’s nutton

If you put your ear against the tree....you can hear them chewing inside.....just dont keep it there to long....:eek:
