Engraver beetles may cause losses of tens of thousands of euros

The engraver beetle usually strikes at a spruce stand ready for felling. It may cause extensive damage, even if the damaged area is not very large. In the worst case, the spruce stem will have no financial value only a couple of weeks after the beetle has struck.

After the engraver beetle, the tree is often attacked by wood-decay fungi, making the wood only suitable for home use timber; most often, it ends up in the firewood shed. The value of a healthy spruce log is well over 50 euros per cubic metre.

The highest known damage to an individual estate by engraver beetles was over 75,000 euros.
