I remember the gypsy moth plague and recently stink bugs. I have not seen gypsy moth problems in years and stink bugs are practically gone. Nature eventually balances itself from these problems.

Gypsy moths are rank amateurs compared to pine beetles. Several areas where I hike have verbenone patches stapled to the ponderosa pines. I don't know how effective they will be. Obviously running around with a stapler and a pack full of patches is much more labor intensive than aerial spraying.

Spraying has its issues too.

With whatever your are comfortable disclosing, where do you hail from? Ponderosa pines are my favorite pine, then Jeffery, then Sugar.
Have you smelled the bark of a Ponderosa lately? Butterscotch or Vanilla?
I am envious. Bet the fishing it good too!
