Pine Beetles

In Georgia, pine beetles are unfortunately very common and very destructive. Pine beetles can infest living pines, kill them quickly, and move to infect surrounding pine trees. If you see any evidence of pine beetle activity you should take immediate and decisive action. Evidence includes sap or a brown sugar-like substance oozing from bark crevices, or saw dust around the base of the pine tree. After you establish that your tree has pine beetles, it should be cut and removed immediately - before the pine beetle infestation can move to adjacent trees. There is no known treatment for eliminating an infestation. We can assess whether or not the tree contains pine beetles and make a recommendation for remediation. There is no charge for the inspection.
