A decade ago, folks in northern states such as Minnesota, South and North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho were watching large swaths of their pine forests die off due to invasive pine beetles. The pine beetles bored beneath the bark of pine trees and introduced a fungus and larvae which weakened and then killed the trees.

My brother has lost several Georgia pines to the bug.
All he can do is spray... which he does.

What is with the stink bugs this year????? We have been finding them all winter in our house! WTH did they come from? I’ve never had this before.
To: Vigilanteman
Yeah, 40 below will do that, but the mosquitoes still found a way to survive, and they bred bigger.

Too bad it didn’t work in Colorado.

So will the Whackos start chanting “Save the Pine Beetles”?
Some animals really are more equal than others.

I’m from North Dakota and my Dad used to say that all the time. It’s not true anymore. Welfare brings them in and keeps them warm.
To: RedMonqey
Meanwhile, down here we had a very mild winter and I expect bugs to be bad this spring and summer
Unless they drowned....... so far in February, we’ve had 11.4 “ of rain vs a historical average of 3” for the months

Wrap them up in a piece of duct tape. Toss them. Never have to touch them.
