FIRE ADAPTED BAILEY

COMMUNITY GROUP PURCHASE OF VERBENONE PHEROMONE PACKETS

Fire Adapted Bailey is coordinating a community group purchase of verbenone pheromone packets—a cost‑effective, non‑toxic tool for protecting your pine trees from mountain pine beetle. By ordering together, we’re able to secure reduced pricing based on total volume.

What Verbenone Is (and Isn’t)

Verbenone is not a pesticide. It’s a naturally occurring scent signal used by mountain pine beetles. When a tree becomes overcrowded, it releases verbenone as a “no vacancy” message, telling additional beetles to move on. By hanging verbenone packets on your trees, you’re creating that same invisible “keep moving” signal around your property—without chemicals or harm to wildlife.

Packet Packaging

Manufacturers sell verbenone packets only in groups of 10, so all orders must be placed in 10‑packet increments.

How to Order

Visit www.fireadaptedbailey.org to access the order form. The website also includes clear, homeowner‑friendly guidance on:

·        How many packets you need for individual trees or full‑property protection

·        How and when to install the packets for maximum effectiveness

·        How to store packets properly so they remain potent until deployment

Order Deadline

To ensure delivery before this year’s beetle flight, orders will close on May 15, 2026. Please place your order before this date so your packets arrive in time for installation.

Pickup Details

All packets will be pre‑paid at the time of ordering. When the group shipment arrives, you’ll receive an email notification with the exact pickup location, dates, and times for your fire protection district.
