This is too serious of an issue. If we have bark beetle in our spruce trees in a couple of years time, hit and miss is not good enough for the potential consequences down the line. There can be 100 logs in a lorry and you can check 99 of them and not be able to get to the one in the middle, which is the one where the bark beetle will be and he is then in. There will be no point in saying that we checked 99. It is hit and miss. There is too much at stake here for us to be banking on a hit-and-miss approach.
