Insect & Pest Management

Sucking Insect Management

The Symptoms

What to look for:

For Hemlocks, look for small cotton-ball-like insects on twigs, yellowing needles, and premature needle drop. For other trees, look for sticky honeydew dripping onto cars or patios and black sooty mold on leaves.

Management Protocol

1. Diagnosis & Assessment

Our certified arborists inspect the tree to confirm the presence of the pathogen or pest, evaluate the overall vigor of the tree, and determine the safest path forward based on your landscape's unique needs.

2. Monitoring

Because every property is different, we develop a flexible monitoring schedule. We consistently evaluate the tree's health over time to ensure any underlying issues are managed effectively before they become critical hazards.
