Pine Bark Beetles

Pine bark beetles are notorious pests that pose a significant threat to pine trees worldwide. These small insects bore into the bark of sick trees, depriving the cambium layer of vital nutrients and water. Infestations often lead to extensive damage, resulting in tree decline, wilting foliage, and ultimately, tree death (this is indicated by branches dying off and leaves browning across canopy). The rapid reproduction rates of pine bark beetles make them a large threat, highlighting the urgency of proactive tree management and monitoring. A good early indication of Pine Bark Beetles is sap coming out of pine trees within 5 feet of grown level, this is caused by the Pine Bark Beetles entering into the cambium layer.
