There are no pesticides labeled or proven effective for the control (killing beetles that have already colonized a tree) of bark beetles in colonized (infected) ponderosa or pinyon pine. This includes microinjection insecticides (Mauget or Acecap). Furthermore, beware of companies that claim their organic treatment or fertilizer will prevent attacks by bark beetles. These claims are not backed by peer-reviewed, statistically valid, scientific research.
