Tree Insect & Mite Management and Treatment

The SavATree insect management program can protect your landscape from the damaging effects caused by insect infestation. Beginning with a thorough inspection of your landscape, your professionally trained arborist will identify any insect or mite challenges and prescribe treatment, along with careful, routine monitoring and proper maintenance.

Insects will usually target plants that are already in poor health or under stress. Our arborists make it their first priority to restore the health of your trees and shrubs, so that they can naturally resist harmful insects.

Tree Insect & Mite Management and Treatment

If left undetected or untreated, there are a variety of harmful insects that can do significant damage to your trees:

  • The larvae of certain insects directly defoliate trees by eating the leaves, needles, and fruit.
  • Wood-boring insects injure and kill trees by infiltrating the tree’s vascular system, preventing the trunk and branches from taking up needed nutrients and moisture.
  • Sucking pests cause wilting, spotting and drying of leaves and fruit, and can also transmit viruses to the plants.

SavATree insect management programs can protect your trees from the damaging effects of insect infestation. We use low impact methods and ingredients to minimize populations of damaging pests while preserving the ecologically beneficial insects.

 

 Inspect, Identify, and Correct: Steps to Insect Control for Trees

Your SavATree arborist will design a customized and multi-pronged treatment plan targeted to the tree species, the specific pest, and the site conditions.

Identify, Treat, and Prevent the Specific Pest

Your SavATree arborist will perform a visual inspection of the foliage, branches, and trunk of the symptomatic tree for evidence of infestation. If detected, they will recommend the regimen of control and prevention measures most appropriate for the specific insect and the tree species. That may include application of technical materials, and/or strategic pruning, to treat or remove the pest. Your arborist may also recommend fertilization or soil amendments to improve growing conditions and increase the overall health of the tree, which will allow it to recover more quickly from damage and better defend itself from future attacks.

Some common pests include emerald ash borer, spotted lanternfly, webworm caterpillars, sawflies, spider mites, Japanese beetles and many more.

Assess and Improve the Site Conditions

Since poor site conditions may cause a tree to become vulnerable to insect infestation, your arborist may make recommendations to improve the site conditions before beginning insect treatments. For example, pruning the affected tree (and any trees and shrubs that may be crowding it) can improve sunlight penetration and air flow, and increase the efficacy of treatments.

The crew was on time, courteous, and cleaned up afterwards. The tree was pruned to my satisfaction.

The crew was great. Luis, the foreman shared insights on his knowledge of tree roots. I have trees that needed replanted to allow for more shade in certain areas of the property and they transplanted them. I am so happy with the results.

Perfect service, easy to respond, and fast turnaround. We needed a pruning of a tree to comply with city standards. The representative Frank was very nice and did a great job. We compared prices and they had a good estimate.

When Nye's came to my home to give me an estimate, the tree expert listened to my concerns, and gave me a couple of options. He did not pressure me to take the option that would cost me the most. He also gave me the option to have my work done in the winter so save money!! When the team came to trim-up my tree, I was impressed by the promptness and courtesy of the team members. We...

The Tree Mechanics very friendly and kind crew did a spectacular job getting up into the trees and removing the branches that were broken and dead. Then they picked up all the branches and turned them into small pieces with their machine. We highly recommend them for keeping trees healthy.

SavATree removed a hazard tree from my yard that was hemmed in between two homes and other trees. Their crew was very good, worked at a steady pace, well coordinated, safety conscious, planed what they needed to do so as to prevent damage to buildings and other trees, and cleaned up well when done. I plan to use them again for future work and recommend them highly.

I have used this company several times over the years primarily because they know how to trim trees correctly. An arborist evaluates the trees and directs the crew so you get an attractive and practical trimming. This years crew chief, Cory, did a wonderful job overseeing the project.
