Technical Abstract: Three trials were undertaken to determine the effectiveness of insecticides against Scolytinae infesting avocado between 2010 and 2011. These included contact and systemic insecticides applied either to trees or to avocado logs. Efficacy of the insecticides was determined either by the number of entrance holes into logs or trees or by emergence of scolytinae from treated and untreated logs/trees. The effectiveness of the treatments is discussed.
