Abstract
Management of members of the southern pine bark beetle guild, which consists of five species, is a continually evolving process. A number of management strategies and tactics have remained fairly constant over time as new ones are being added. These basic practices include doing nothing, direct control, and indirect control. This chapter focuses primarily on the latter two. Emphasis is given to recent and possible future management strategies that may become part of our overall programs. The World Wide Web will play a key role in the distribution of information about the management of the southern pine bark beetles.
