Integrated pest management treatment on affected tree

Integrated Pest Control

Diagnose it. Treat it. Save the tree.

Integrated Pest Control

Trees in the High Country face threats from boring insects, fungal diseases, and invasive pests that can weaken or kill them if left untreated. Our integrated pest management approach starts with accurate diagnosis — identifying the specific pest or pathogen — then applies targeted treatments that solve the problem without unnecessary chemicals. Early detection makes all the difference, so don't wait if you notice something off with your trees.

Common Questions

How do I know if my tree has a pest problem?+
Common signs include unusual leaf discoloration, premature leaf drop, sawdust at the base, holes in bark, sticky residue on leaves, or visible insects. If something looks off, call us for a free assessment.
Are the treatments safe for pets and kids?+
We use targeted application methods like trunk injection that contain the treatment within the tree, minimizing any environmental exposure. We'll discuss any precautions specific to your situation.
Can a sick tree be saved?+
Often, yes — especially with early treatment. Some advanced diseases or heavy infestations may be too far gone, but many trees respond well to proper care. An honest assessment is always our first step.
