You can inject a Bore Killer (Insecticide) with a syringe into the holes. However, you will need to decide if there is enough left on the tree to warrant the treatment.

I lost a beautiful Picea that I named "Thunder" to wood borers. You can see it at: http://members.aol.com/iasnob/thunder.html

I have found borers on a Picea (A. Nidiformis ... I think) that a friend
brought me a couple of weeks ago !!


I think you could defeat the borers and save the tree along with some
interesting dead wood. But Picea in Zone 10A?
I would use a combination of systemic insecticide and physical search and
destroy if I decided to save it.

I read about the three borers on your tree.
I first saw "Thunder" in a book by David Prescot I found in a portuguesse
hardware store (I live in northwest Spain).
Nature does this things ...
I haven't found any entry holes or damage on the "healthy" part of the tree,
so I may give it a try and put the effort ... you know ... its free !!
(Putting the effort, that is).

Regards,
Tony

Picea abies 'Nidiformis' Bird's Nest Norway spruce

The poster says he is in Zone 10a. If this is true there is no way this tree
will survive in that climate. I wouldn't even try.
