(Courtesy of  USDA Animal & Plant Health Inspection Services)  Symptoms and Treatment:<\/strong> <\/a>Although you can\u2019t always spot it, the beetle may live in cut wood such as firewood. You can help stop the beetle by not moving firewood. Moving firewood can spread the beetle, its larvae and its eggs to healthy trees. Burn your firewood where you buy it. Adult beetles are most active during the summer and early fall. If you see the beetle or any signs of infestation, you need to report it immediately<\/a>. (Contact your local U.S. Department of Agriculture Office.)
