I am investigating biological repellents or biological pesticides
targeted at beetles like the Mountain Pine Beetle, Emerald Ash Borer,
Asian longhorn beetle etc.  

I have been contacted by a group that claims to have a biological
solution, at least to the Mountain Pine Beetle.  Before pursuing
anything, I would like to understand more about what has been done to
date, and if there are any solutions in the pipeline.  The only
currently effective solution seems to be cut and destroy infected trees,
which isn't effective at all. 

Can anyone direct me to sources or contacts for information?

Thanks for your help.
