Regional Differences

The procedures discussed in this handbook were developed primarily from information gathered on the Gulf Coast where SPB may be active throughout the year. Some of the recommendations may require modifications for effective use in other areas of the beetle's range, where there are fewer SPB generations per year and forest conditions are different. If questions arise, check with a Federal or State forest pest control specialist, who can tell you which, if any, of the recommendations are not applicable to your survey area.
