We've got serious problem with pines in our area, due to fact that they are exotic and not have any natural enemies here (threatening our local ecology). I was thinking that dynamite would be most cost-effective and quickest way to clear those areas, have you tried this method before?

Might be a quick way to do it. Depends on how many trees and your budget. Perhaps hiring a logging company would be faster. They have specialized machinery that takes down trees very quickly. But, if the pines are mingled in with good trees, that's a blunt force approach that is probably harmful to the other trees.
Might want to hire a few people with chain saws and cull the pines that way.

If indeed the Pine is an exotic envasive cut them off as close to the ground as possible and the tree will die 99% of the time. Removal of all of the geen foliage on most conifers, Pine being one of them, results in the death of the tree. I have seen one pine grow back out after doing this and it died within the next two years.

Benzina, that would 'spread' them. Please do not use the strong chemicals. How dense is the area, what percentage of local to invaders? The best solution, might be the old-time solution, one by one, unless you can do direct controlled fire (high heat).
Good luck! and please don't use Benzine!!!!

yeah you can use it if you have a permit, but it'll rip up the land and you'll have to explain stuff to the cops
