PEST CONTROL: TO SPRAY OR NOT TO SPRAY….. ASK QUESTIONS! There is a common misconception that when we see an
insect or two on our trees or shrubs, we need to eliminate them. After all, the only good insect is a dead insect, right?Not necessarily. Your property should be thought of as a
microcosm of our ecosystem. Depending on what insects are present on and around your property, site conditions, species of plantings, and other cultural and environmental factors, pesticide application
may not be answer. There are beneficial insects, as well as those that cause damage to our valuable plantings. Are you noticing spots developing on leaves? Small holes on the
trunks and stems? Dieback in the crown, or individual dead branches? Upon close observation, we can often pinpoint the cause(s) of a disorder and take steps to control it. Is there an
actual insect problem? Could it be due to a fungal disease? Maybe neither, or both? The first step to take is yours. Contact one of our certified specialists to schedule a
free consultation. We will visit your property, determine the problem, and offer solutions. |
