Abstract
Lodgepole and ponderosa pines, Pinus contona var. latifolia Engelm. and P. ponderosa Dougl. ex. Laws., respectively, in the interior of British Columbia were baited with the semiochemicals myrcene, trans -verbenol and exo -brevicomin to induce attack by the mountain pine beetle, Dendroclonus ponderosae Hopkins. In one post-logging application, semiochemical baiting was effective in shifting the locus of a small infestation so that it could be cut and removed from the forest. In another application after a selective, sanitation-salvage cutting, semiochemical baiting was successful in concentrating a residual population in baited trees and trees surrounding them.
