Those things really have strong jaws on them.
When I use to run my sawmill, I could hear then in a pine log 100 feet away in the evenings.

This is true! We're hoping the really cold weather in N MN will slow the spread of the Emerald Ash borer, we have a lot of ash trees on our property. Our forestry advisor told me that it needs to get to about -40 inside the bark to kill them, not sure if that's happening.
 
I can't think of any insects, invasive or native, that cold weather kills around here.
I have seen -10F here.
Split a log that has a crack in it and the ants with ice crystals on them will start moving around when the sun hits them.
They said fire ants would never survive here in the upstate of SC.
Got mounds a foot tall in the fields.
Rough on combines when all that soil goes through them.
Asian stink bugs thrive since they were brought in here.
Could go on and on about invasive insects surviving cold winters.

i have heard them also inside of trees sounds like uuh lets see. maybe someone grinding their false teeth. lol.
 
If that is the case,the invasives should all be dead in Wisconsin. Has been below zero most every night for a weak or more. Eighteen below last night. All the way up to -11 at 10:30 this morning.
 
Between the snow cover and the cold my allergies have taken a break. For me there's nothing worse than warm weather and mud in the winter. I hope we're getting the frost in deep to loosen the ground.
 
I don't think we have those beetles here but plenty of others to go around. If cold weather killed bugs I guess we would'nt have wood ticks and mosquitos next spring but I'm betting they will be out in full force. I don't know where they hibernate but they have survived every winter so far.
 
It takes the really cold like -40 for extended time to kill them. Maybe it’s control them, as some will survive.
