I use bifenthrin on two of our pine trees after loosing 3 pine trees to bark beetles. They're doing well and still beautiful. Tristar brand with bifenthrin an insecticide that can be used to kill broad range of bark beetles, spray up the trunk 15 feet and the lower limbs. Try to get whole tree if you can......Water the hell out of the pine trees! I have found you can't over water most trees so water the heck out of them. The extra hydration keeps them healthy to fight off beetles and also a outside deep freeze helps kill the larvae and the beetles when the tree has proper moisture. This insecticide won't harm animals just don't get too crazy with it. However be careful if you have aquatic ponds.
Actually chemicals can kill the larva boring in the center of the tree. I found out about one called Safari SG 20. I spoke to the company tech support guy who has a PHD in horticulture and he told me the Safari SG 20 product will in fact kill the larva inside the tree, stopping the damage. You can spray it on or use a soil drench so the roots take it up into the tree and kill the pests.
Safari SG 20 This is a systemic insecticide of the neonicotinoid class (second generation, by the way). It is not even produced in Europe. Highly toxic. But HOW can it penetrate through the bark into the area of the cambium on which the larvae feed if it cannot physically penetrate through the cork of the bark (only physically impossible) and neonicotinoids, even in such an elephant dose, do not work well against insects with gnawing mouthparts. By the way, stem injections do NOT work on coniferous plants (read Sanchez and Ortega)
My trees have been dying and one finally fell and I saw white larvae with a flat wide head in the break of the tree so now I know why the trees are dying
I am not sure about a triangle, but there is one type that bores a "D" shaped hole. Possibly, this is what you are seeing? I am sorry, I dont remember the name but a quick internet search for "D shaped hole in tree" should yield quick results, because I think they are a unique species.
What if your trees are 100 feet tall? There's no way to spray the entire trunk of our trees. I live in the Sierra Nevada foothills. In the sierra Nevada national forest. Our trees are pretty tall here.
No problem! There are at least 2 solutions: the services of arborist-climbers or the use of forest drones. As soon as the war in Ukraine ends (I live in Kiev, the capital of the country), I will make my own forest drone and provide services not only in my country. Nevada - no problem (except work visa)
@@jeancunningham3029 nope...only a copper wire around the trunk that makes induction from the earth magnetic field and gives to the tree the energy to cure himself...

Is this insecticide toxic to the surrounding environment? How often should trees be treated for prevention?
I saw the shape of the beetles in the title card image and did a double take lol. 😂
Where can this product be purchased
Can you fogger spray
What insect bites in a triangle?

Nobody will listen to you if you don't speak! So, please tell us about the non chemical solution, and we will listen!
Taweret is totally my favorite given this version of the story even more so it all makes sense now. 🦛💗
