The Solution For All The Pine Beetles!

Today I was reaserching and found this site that had alot of information on how to repel mountain pine beetles!
These bullet points are from the article.
  • solar treatment kills M.P.B.
  • droughts are the reason that all the M.P.B. are destroying all the pines(because they get weaker)
  • people are thinking of putting plastic shields around them so the sun reflects on
      the plastic thus causing it to "overheat" under all the plastic and burn the M.P.B. still                   hibernating
  • M.P.B. only attack weak ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine
