We believe two of our evergreen trees may have been infested with beetles. Is ther any way to save the trees and rid them of the beetles?

Lots of different kinds of beetles attack lots of different evergreen trees but the control really depends upon the beetles - and the types of evergreens - and whether or not they are considered destructive or simply a nuisance. I can't really suggest a control measure without knowing what the beetles are, and what kinds of trees you are growing. How about collecting a few insects, or cutting off an infested branch and taking it to your local cooperative extension office for positive identification? Helpful folks there can offer control strategies. Contact: WSU Adams County Cooperative Extension, 210 W Broadway Ave # 104, Ritzville - (509) 659-3209
