    An update / new news on my saga, the beetles are not southern pine bark beetles but have been identified as probably a combination of IPS Beetles, that caused the trees to stress and Turpentine Beetles that came afterward and are there now.

    Southern Pine Bark Beetles

    Southern Pine Bark Beetles

    Hello, we have a home in Atlanta that's on approximately an acre of land with LOTS of pine trees and noticed that several of them have been infested with southern pine bark beetle which I realize is "not good". We are arranging for these trees to be removed but would like to insure that...
