Any recomendations for Pine Tree Bark Beetle?

Question

I am worried for my big Pine tree. I live in the high desert of California and in a fire danger zone and had to trim everything for the Fire Department. I hired an arborist to trim all of my trees and bushes, and I hesitate to call them about a possible solution until I know my options. Are there natural remedies, things I can do or try? I just don’t want to jump to chemicals or cutting it down until I know more. Anything you have to offer would be very appreciated!
