Spraying bark with borer preventatives is ineffective against southern pine beetles (SPB) because they attack anywhere from ground to crown. Systemic insecticides don't distribute evenly in pines.
Keep pines well-watered during summer drought. Healthy trees resist beetles better.
Note: Infested firewood likely carries old house borers, not SPB.
