Arnold, CA…We had the pleasure to spend a few minutes talking to Chris Self at Big Trees Market about SPLAT Verb. SPLAT Verb is an environmentally friendly repellent that provides sustained and controlled release of the verbenone anti-aggregation pheromone. Verbenone is naturally produced by MPB and by several other species of bark beetle towards the end of a mass attack. The presence of verbenone signals new MPB approaching the infested tree that it is already too overcrowded to serve as a suitable host. Big Trees Market has this environmentally friendly way to keep our over stressed trees alive….
