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.

I contracted with SavATree (Exeter) this year to take down fifteen trees and to do monthly lawn treatments. Kendra was fantastic to deal with. She took care of scheduling, putting everything together, explaining the billing process and followed up when everything was done.. Ashley came out to the house, walked the property with me, made some great suggestions and handled the quotes. The...

Excellent workmanship from the equipment and the crew that was here. The arrived ay 8:00 AM and were done taking out three large trees, and trimming branches of a huge white ash that they have been treating it every other year to stop the beetles that have been destroying ash trees throughout the U.S. I would recommend SavATree for any tree service you may need.

I had a large tree removed. Tree was far away from the road, close to the pool and fence. They were able to skillfully remove the tree. When I returned home after work to see the result, you could not even tell they had completed the work other than the remaining stump. They did outstanding work! No damage to yard, property or debris trail of branches and leaves. They also cut back some...

River and Joel did a fantastic job with both a tree removal and a trim for us. They were courteous, highly efficient and cleaned up great after. I was impressed with both the quality and the speed of the work, with everything done in under 2.5 hours. This is our second time using Boise Tree and will certainly reach out to them again for tree work!

A neighbor recommended SavATree to us and we are very happy with their service … from the free consultation with arborist Ronal, who was very knowledgeable and informative, to the actual pruning of our four redwood trees, and yard cleanup. Everyone was professional, courteous, and responsive to our questions and concerns. “Natural” pruning made our redwoods look terrific and several...

Our HOA has been using SavATree for a good number of years. Scott, our arborist has taken the time to study our 53 acre property, and has provided us with solid advice on taking care of over 700 trees. The pricing has been fair, the crews careful, and safety procedures have always been followed. Most importantly, we feel that the health and beauty of our trees are cared for.

Have been a customer with Sav A Tree for several years. We recently had about 8 trees pruned and cut back and also had some branches removed since they had grown too close to the house. The crew was tremendous to work with and Tyler Willis was always attentive and gave great advice on what needed to be done. Thanks Sav A Tree!
