It's nothing more dangerous than what's under your sink.

The beetles are native, so they've always been around causing a little mortality, and that's kind of a good thing. But when certain things happen, like the drought and fire, the population of the beetles builds up and it gives them the ability to move into healthy trees.

One priority is if the private land is adjacent to forest land, near where a fire occurred. That's where the beetles will be coming from.
