Insect Control
By the time you notice insect damage, the infestation is usually already advanced. Tree pests work fast — burrowing into bark, stripping foliage, cutting off the vascular system — and most of the damage happens out of sight.
My Arborist identifies the problem first, then treats it precisely.
How we approach it
An ISA Certified Arborist inspects your trees and identifies exactly what's present before recommending anything. Treatment is targeted to the specific pest — contact or systemic depending on what the situation calls for. No blanket spraying.
We protect against
— Active infestations causing visible damage
— Early-stage problems before they spread
— Recurring pests with seasonal treatment plans
