Your "solution" for the pine beetle is as harmful and oversimplified as your economic "solution" (free trade). If any pesticide, Lindan (not DDT) would be the agent of choice against pine beetles (Lindan is actually legal for this purpose in Germany). However, pesticides cause too much collateral damage. Pheromone traps are an effective and ecological weapon against pine beetles.
