The forest department experiments with solutions, but short of controlled burns and replanting, nothing seems to slow these little bugs. I read, maybe a year ago, the most probable solution will be that the beetle will simply eat its way out of existence. I've heard that by the time symptoms develop, it's too late for the tree. Unfortunately, these little parasites will have to munch their way through the food supply, decimating the forests, before they die out. You don't see too many Dutch Elm beetles around any more, but then again, you don't see many Dutch Elm trees either.
