to whom it may concern:
10,000 stink bugs eating a way the bark, on my old-growth twin pine trees
I live in the foothills of Sam’s Valley
and my address is 11 362 Ramsey Rd. Gold Hill organ 97525
I’ve uploaded 3, Oct 2016 photos; one close-up showing the stink bugs with orange lines on their backs and the damage to the tree.
Second one is a close up of the trunk.
And the third one is the full height of the twin pine tree.
Question: is there anything I can do to protect my old growth pine trees from these bark eating bugs?
Thank you
