A Bark Beetle life cycle (Pine and Spruce) is spent primarily under the bark of the host tree. The few hours the insect is in flight to be potentially exposed to a spray is extremely limited. The thought of attempting to broadcast spray thousands of acres during the limited amount of time the insect is in flight is impractical. Individual trees can be treated to repel the beetle, but each bole (primary stem) has to be completely sprayed. This is possible only where the tree has a unique value such as in campgrounds and/or around buildings. As stated earlier, the larger trees in overcrowded stands are the most susceptible.

Like all of life, this is only a small part of the complex nature of it.
