The primary pest that bores into Blue Spruce trees is the spruce engraver beetle (Scolytus spp.), which can cause significant damage by tunneling into the tree's bark. Additionally, the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsugae) can also affect spruce trees. These beetles create galleries under the bark, disrupting the flow of nutrients and potentially leading to tree decline or death. Regular monitoring and management practices are essential to protect Blue Spruce trees from these pests.
The bug making a clicking noise in your spruce Christmas tree from Western Washington is likely a Western conifer seed bug. They are attracted to conifer trees and may accidentally end up indoors in search of warmth. They do not pose any harm to humans or pets.
do you mean the Big Blue Bug in Providence, because if you do, that is the name of it-the big blue bug
Borers are difficult to get rid of. It depends on how infested your tree is. Then it depends on what variety of borer you have infesting your tree. It could be roundheaded borers, flatheaded, clearwing, etc. Usually borers only attack weak and ailing trees, so the first line of defense is to fertilize and to keep your tree as healthy as can be. Sap lines usually protect the tree from borers. Instead of giving you a lesson on Tree/borer defense/offense, I'll tell you what I did to get rid of mine. I am an avid bonsai enthusiast, so I have the luxury and the curse of having my trees in pots. First, I removed my tree from its pot and removed all of the soil. I then replaced it with new soil. Adults usually winter there (depending on the species). Then I remove any and all deadwood on the tree where there has been borer activity. Then I use a systemic pesticide, as well as carbaryl and permethrin on the bark. I then use a 1:1 mix of lime sulfur and water and inject it into the borer holes, which can be a very arduous task. After this, I wrap the bark with seran wrap to seal the vapors in and to let it do its work. After this, when the tree is clean, you can use a 1:1 mix of latex paint and water to seal off the bark as a preventative measure. Having said this, usually when the beetles have begun tunneling, insecticides will not work. It's a hit and miss type of deal. Also, if you can find out what species of bug you have, it would be helpful. Could be a moth, wasp, beetle, etc. There are many borers. Anyway, you have to time the insecticide just right. Right before spring is usually best. Anyway, hope this helps you.
