Bark Beetle Risk
Routt and Jackson Counties are
currently experiencing epidemic levels of bark
beetle activity. The beetles of concern are spruce
& mountain pine beetle.
Current Situation (Summer,
2006):
Both spruce and mountain pine beetles
are currently flying. As a result, landowners
should focus on identifying infested trees. If
infested trees are identified, those trees should
be treated to reduce further infestation. If you
are at risk, begin considering preventative spraying
next spring.
