After Pine Beetle Kill: Remove Tree Fast, Spray Neighbors, Don't Store Wood

Tree dead from beetles? Beetles have likely already moved to nearby trees.

Action Plan

Remove dead tree ASAP—cut pine scent attracts more beetles.
Chip limbs (kills remaining beetles).
Don't spray dead tree—useless.
Hire pro to spray adjacent pines top-to-bottom with borer insecticide.

Gamble

"Wait and see" risks losing more trees in drought. Act fast.
