They have been in the state quite a while. First I have heard of them...

"Permethrin may be effective" Dang, permethrin kills just about everything but "may" be effective against these bugs???

"The efficacy of pesticides for control of camphor shoot borer has not been tested. Systemic neonicotinoids and pyrethroids (e.g., imidacloprid and bifenthrin) have been effective in reducing the attacks of some ambrosia beetle species but not others, so they may or may not be effective against camphor shoot borer. A surface spray of permethrin can reduce the number of attacks by other problem ambrosia beetles, so may also be effective for camphor shoot borer. If a surface insecticide is used, it should be applied to the plant above 0.5 meters when beetle activity peaks (April and May in the southern U.S. and probably May and early June in Pennsylvania)."

Time to get rid of ethanol in fuel!

My thought too!!


Here’s a really crazy thing. Most new vehicles have plastic fuel tanks!!! This could get REALLY bad!!

[AntlerCollector]

Looks like a good reason to get ethanol out of our gas supply!

[Texas Grown]

Just set them on fire!....Oh.....wait!

[locolobo]

Wow! the first article says their biggest target is the sweet gun tree. My garden shed and all my plastic gas cans stored in it along with several gas powered machines, is situated under a giant sweet gum tree.

That is all I buy. Those nice Eagle cans.
