Pest and Disease Control

Your trees and hedges can fall ill just like any other plant. If left uncared for the health of your trees will deteriorate and could eventually lead to death. The pests or diseases could also spread to your surrounding plants or trees. Eventually an infestation may lead to the death of your tree. Your tree may drop branches causing a danger to your home and family.

Pest and Disease Problems
Insects and tree diseases can wreak havoc on your trees. An infestation can have severe effects and may compromise your tree structure. Some pests you may find infecting your tree include emerald ash borer, Asian long horned beetle, hemlock woolly adelgid and pink bark beetle. These insects can cause your trees to lose leaves, needles and bark. The damage can be reversed once the pests are removed. Some tree diseases include sudden oak death, oak wilt, root rot and Dutch elm disease. Untreated these diseases can cause permanent damage to any tree on your property. We strongly suggest contacting our arborists if you notice and pest or disease issues with your trees.

Chewing insects will devour leaves, flowers, buds and roots. They will stunt growth and your trees will look unhealthy. Depending on the damage our expert tree servicemen can identify the insect and prepare for their removal. Boring insects will drill holes beneath the bark of your trees causing internal damage. Sucking insects feed on your tree sap. Their damage shows as discoloration, wilting and overall vitality.
