These trees are dying everywhere. It seems that it happens over night. Any comments/

I received a few comments regarding a post. Dead Ponderosas. This Die off has gotten worse by 100% since I last posted. Any suggestions or thoughts?
 
Bark beetles, pine engravers, and drought are a hell of a combination. in 2015 we lost 130 ponderosa pines on our 20 acres due to bark beetle and drought. It was near 100% tree mortality in our area The only real solution is lots of snow and rain but you can spray insecticide and water ones near homes. I saw three 110 ft 60 dbh in the same general location go from green to brown in less than 2 weeks and they had a good natural water source.
