Trees are a valuable asset to everyone’s property and their health is important. A professional arborist can help manage those trees for maximum value and benefit to the uses of your property.

"Trees Hurt Too"
Arboriculture Consulting & Plant Health Care Services by A Pest Pro, Inc

Like people, trees hurt too. We at A-Pest-Pro focus on saving your sick trees, not destroying them.

A tree will fall under one of four classifications. The four classifications are "healthy", "sick", "dead", or "snag". We determine that a tree is sick if it is diagnosed not to live for more than five or so years. We determine how long the tree will live based on the size of the living crown to the size of the bole. (In other words, the part of the tree above the trunk to the tree's actual trunk.) A sick tree, which will also have few leaves left in the canopy, will not be able to make enough food for itself to maintain all of the tree's tissues for the next year and so on. So gradually, it dies. For a sick tree, there are also signs of yellowing leaves and dead branches in the canopy.
The answer to that question is, No. Though a tree maybe sick, this does not necessarily mean that the tree will die. In order to help your sick tree though, give our Tree Doctors a call.
We hope
you become as excited about dormant sprays as we are!
Dormant sprays were being successfully used as far back
as 200 B.C. by the Romans to control overwintering pests
and diseases on their trees.
Why is spraying trees and other plans while they
are dormant so effective? For two reasons.
1) Insect numbers are at a low level during the winter.
You can break the whole cycle of multiplying pests by
eliminating them at this time.
2) During the dormant season, we can professionally
apply a special, highly effective horticultural oil
spray that controls not only adult insects, but also
insect eggs that are resistant to other controls, and
even some plant diseases. Because the trees have shed
their leaves, there is no danger of burning the tender
leaves, as there is when using some of these sprays
during the growing season. It’s an ideal time!
Dormant treatments are directed toward plant
pests, but as a bonus, some of the many pests that
wander indoors are also controlled.
Timing and proper application of dormant sprays is
vital in achieving the high level of control that is
need to be successful. These treatments need to be
applied before the plant buds start to break open in
late winter, and they must be applied thoroughly, so
that every pest-infested crack and crevice of bark is
covered.
If you are not already signed up for this great
service, be sure to call our office today so we can
schedule you in at the right time.
