Abstract

A number of chemical (i.e. insecticides, pheromones) and natural (i.e. biopesticides, organic disease control) products are available to protect trees against mountain pine beetles (MPB). When selecting products to protect trees against MPB, the Colorado State Forest Service advises choosing those that best meet individual management objectives and are part of an integrated pest management program. Making informed choices and following all label instructions and warnings offers trees the best chance to resist mountain pine beetle attack. This document provides an overview of several products currently on the market for use in preventing mountain pine beetle attacks. The products are divided into several categories, and the appropriate uses are described for each product. The products are only discussed relative to their use in preventing mountain pine beetle attack. Please note that this Quick Guide does not provide a comprehensive list of all preventive products.
