The pine forests of Ben Hai SFE (Quang Tri province) are severely raging.

It is estimated that the area affected by insects until now has reached more than 1,000 ha, accounting for more than 25% of the total area of ​​forest plantations being exploited.

In the subdivisions 548, 549 and 554, the density of dense caterpillars is about 500-700 individuals / tree.

At present, the forestry enterprise has to stop the exploitation of pine resin in these areas and limit the spread of insects by light trap method.

With large-capacity light bulbs, the average workers can trap 50kg of adult maturity each night, especially the night of 100 kg trap.

This measure has significantly reduced the density and growth of insects in this area.
