With the exception of the actual beetle images, all pictures on this site are taken at our property near Estes Park, Colorado. It is our pride and joy - our sanctuary.
We, personally, have chosen Verbenone above all other products to protect our own precious trees and the fantastic wildlife that depend on them.
Verbenone and how it works.
Beetles and other insects communicate using pheromones. Verbenone – a synthetic pheromone treatment for high value pine trees – replicates the beetle pheromone, sending a message that the tree is full and that the food supply is insufficient for additional beetles. Arriving beetles receive the ‘message’ that they should look elsewhere for a suitable host.
Does Verbenone really work?
Verbenone has been used as part of integrated pest management programs (IPM) for more than a decade. Many studies show that areas treated with Verbenone, as part of an IPM program, fare significantly better than those that are not.
How safe is Verbenone?
By Federal Law, Verbonone is licensed and approved by PMRA guidelines as a pesticide. But, Verbenone is environmentally safe and non-toxic to humans, pets, birds, and even the beetles themselves. Always follow the instructions provided.

How to use Verbenone.
It is our recommendaton that you staple or nail the first Verbenone pouch 7 - 10 feet high (2m) on the north face of the tree just prior to beetle flight season (April to Aug, depending upon location). Attach the second pouch just prior to PEAK flight (usually late July - August in the northern Rockies). If late in the season, use the second pouch for a second tree.

For protecting stands of trees, use at least one pouch every 25 feet in a perimeter surrounding the stand. Also place a Verbenone pouch on the North side of the largest tree. By encircling the stand and boosting the repellent on the most desirable tree, the pouches can be used in more economical fashion and may help to protect more than the one tree per pouch.
If your trees may be attacked from unattended neighboring property, try to create a Verbenone barrier on trees on the windward side of your trees (as described above) in a perimeter no more than 25 feet apart and boosting the protection on your largest trees.
Verbenone is prescribed as part of a multi-faceted approach to mountain pine beetle management. No single treatment can totally prevent attacks. Additionally, preventative measures will need to be repeated each year or each flight season in areas with more than one season annually. Buy Verbenone
