Asian Ambrosia Beetle looking to be become my worst overall pest

They are the absolute worst. I spray everything with a dormant oil and copper right before things start to leaf out. I added a pyrethroid to the mix three years ago and have not had anymore problems. It is always a stressful time in late winter early spring timing the spray right to make sure you are not to early but also definitely don’t want to be late. I also worry every time we have a warm spell in the winter. I have lost plum, apricot, pawpaw and pomegranates. They must really love apricot, mine must of had over 2 hundred beetles in it.
