I don't think there is anything to do. When we moved here 28 years ago, I kept hearing this funny noise outdoors. That was the sound of the crunching of beatles eating our pine trees.

The good news is that only a few trees have totally died and either fell or had to be cut down. The bad news is that it is easier to cut them down when they are small, as mine kept growing, in spite of the beatles, and thus were very large and more difficult to take out at a later date.

I suppose you could call an arborists to see your options, but I don't think anything will be a cure that you will like. Sorry.

You can spray the trees, but you would have to do it every year, and it is expensive. My parents were told all the trees on their land would die in a few years. They sprayed them annually and the lasted 30 years. They decided to stop doing it and in ten years most of the trees were dead.

There are many kinds of pine beetles. Some kill trees, others don't.

Thanks for reply!!

Do they make similar holes? What should I spray?
