BLOG Combating Tree Pests: Professional Solutions for a Healthy Yard Aug 14, 2024

As the leading tree services company in the area, Top Notch Tree Experts is committed to helping our customers maintain healthy and beautiful yards. One of the biggest threats to the health of your trees and landscape is tree pests. These pesky insects can cause significant damage if left unchecked, leading to potential tree decline or even death. In this blog post, we will discuss the most common tree pests and provide professional solutions to combat them, ensuring a healthy yard for years to come.

One of the most common tree pests that our customers encounter is the emerald ash borer. This invasive beetle species feeds on the inner bark of ash trees, causing extensive damage and eventually killing the tree. To combat the emerald ash borer, our team of experts can provide targeted insecticide treatments to protect your ash trees from infestation. Additionally, we can help you determine if an affected tree needs to be removed to prevent the spread of the pest to other nearby trees.

Another troublesome tree pest is the tent caterpillar, which can defoliate entire trees if left unchecked. These caterpillars create silken tents in the branches of trees and emerge to feed on the leaves, causing significant stress to the tree. Our professional team can carefully remove the tents and caterpillars, and provide insecticidal treatments to prevent future infestations. By taking proactive measures to control tent caterpillar populations, you can protect the health and beauty of your trees.

In addition to insect pests, trees can also be affected by fungal diseases such as anthracnose and powdery mildew. These diseases can cause unsightly leaf spots, defoliation, and branch dieback if not properly treated. Our experts are trained to diagnose and treat fungal diseases, using a combination of fungicidal treatments and cultural practices to restore the health of your trees. By addressing fungal diseases promptly, you can prevent the spread of infection and preserve the vitality of your landscape.
