Pests And Diseases We Treat

Pest Identification and Treatment

We are trained to identify what kind of pest is infecting your tree. After a thorough inspection, we can gauge your tree's overall health and condition. A plan is devised for elimination. We use various methods such as cultural practices, biological control, chemical control (if necessary and appropriate), and monitoring to minimize the impact on non-target organisms and the environment.

Tree Diseases And How We Treat Them

Aphids

Aphids are small, sap-sucking insects that feed on your trees' leaves, stems, and buds. They cause leaf distortion, yellowing, and stunted growth. We treat them by using the following methods:



  • We could spray the tree with an insecticidal soap solution. 
  • We could apply horticultural oil during the dormant season to stop eggs from growing.
  • Sometimes our experts might use a strong blast of water to dislodge them

Borers

Borers are insects that lay eggs on or inside the bark of trees. The larvae tunnel into the wood, causing damage to the tree's vascular system and weakening its structure. Some treatment methods we follow are:


  • With borers, the first key is to keep your tree healthy.
  • We go for insecticidal treatment in severe infestations. Our experts know exactly what method to opt for. 
  • We could prune limbs of trees to minimize infections
  • We could protect the bark with the help of an external barrier like sticky wraps.

Systemic Insecticide - Our Application Methods

We use systemic insecticide, a pesticide designed to be absorbed by your tree and distributed throughout its tissues, including the leaves, stems, and roots. Unlike contact insecticides that only affect pests upon direct contact, systemic insecticides provide long-term protection by being transported within the plant's vascular system. We use soil drenching and injection to make plants infused with system insecticides.
