Shop4 Verbenone
Pine Beetle Control for Precious Pines

Pouches can ship to Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. We cannot ship pouches to California, but SPLAT Verbenone ships there.

Full shipping answer

Hang one Pouch per tree on the shaded north side, 6–12 ft up. (We sell a handy Extension Hammer that allows you to place your verbenone pouch higher up the tree to take advantage of every foot of protection the pouch can offer.)
For SPLAT, apply four dollops of about 17.5 g evenly around the trunk at 7–10 ft. (We offer a Measured-release Application Gun to make applying the correct amount easy.)

Full application answer

Apply just before the beetles fly, when daytime temperatures reach 55–65°F: around May 1 below 5,000 ft, and June 1–July 4 above 7500 ft.

On Pouch protects one tree and an area 10 feet out all around it. Any other trees in that 20 fot circle are automatically protected. One treated SPLAT tree is protected and also protects a circle of 10 feet from the trunk (including any other trees inside that circle).  One SPLAT tube treats 10 individual trees.

Full quantity answer

Yes. Verbenone is registered for pine trees of any species, including lodgepole, ponderosa, whitebark, limber, loblolly, Jack, sugar pines and others.

Full tree species answer

Yes. Remove infested and green-attack trees before the beetles emerge, then burn or chip the wood. Verbenone works best as part of a multi-year program, not a standalone cure.
