What Are Southern Pine Beetles?

Southern pine beetles are a type of insect that feeds on the wood of pine trees. They’re small, dark-colored beetles that are about 1/8 inch long. 

Adult beetles typically emerge in late summer or early fall, and they mate and lay eggs on the bark of pine trees. The larvae hatch from the eggs and begin feeding on the tree’s inner bark. 

Why Should You Remove Southern Pine Beetles from Your Trees?

These beetles are a serious threat to pine trees, and when they infest your trees, they can quickly kill them. 

They do this by feeding on the tree’s bark which damages the tree’s ability to transport water and nutrients. 

This stress weakens the tree and makes it more susceptible to disease and insect attacks. Once a tree is infested, it usually dies within a year.

Their infestations can spread quickly from one tree to another and the best way to protect your trees is to remove infested trees before the beetles have a chance to spread.

If left unchecked, a southern pine beetle infestation can destroy an entire stand of trees.

Infestations usually start with just a few beetles, but can quickly grow into the hundreds or even thousands.
