Thanks for the pictures.
Hopefully the Canadian politicans are smarter than ours.
Harvesting is a good solution.

Believe it or not, climate change is part of the problem. Pests like these beetles would be killed off in a single season if the temperature dropped to -30 or colder for several weeks at a time, but that doesn't happen like it used to.
One "solution" being considered in Canada has been the possible introduction of the beetle's main predator in Asia -- a wasp of some kind that feeds on the beetle's eggs.
