Pitch moth infestations can cause significant damage to pine and coniferous trees, weakening their structure and making them more vulnerable to disease. These pests, including species like the Western Pitch Moth (Synanthedon sequoiae) , lay eggs on tree bark, and their larvae tunnel into the cambium, feeding on sap and causing excessive resin production. If left untreated, pitch moth damage can lead to branch dieback and structural instability.
