Trees with bugs #891400

Asked January 08, 2025, 4:57 PM EST

We have a neighbor that has about 10 trees down that we think have bugs in them. Is there anyone that would come out to talk to them to tell them to get rid of the trees?

Josephine County Oregon

Expert Response

Unfortunately, the County Commissioners in Josephine County have eliminated the OSU Extension Office in Josephine County, therefore, no one is available there for site visits.

Many types of insects can be found in downed trees in Oregon, including bark beetles and wood borers.

Here is a great publication to share with your neighbors:

Hope this helps!
