Trees and shrubs can be destroyed by insects and disease. The control of insect pests and diseases requires correct diagnosis followed by timely application of the proper treatment. Conserv-A-Tree experts can often detect evidence of disease or insect damage in early stages when control is relatively easy. We offer both systemic and foliar treatments in a year round program to protect your trees. Each approach has its advantages, depending on the pest being treated and other factors that are evaluated.

SYSTEMIC APPLICATIONS
Systemic applications of insecticides and fungicides work from the inside out. Granular pesticide is applied to the soil and is absorbed by the plant roots. The trees vascular system carries the material to infected part of the tree. Commonly treated by systemics are lacebugs, leaf miners and many other hard-to-control insects on birch trees, hollies, azalea and andromeda.

SUMMER OIL SPRAY
A non-toxic, water soluble oil that smothers insects before they become a problem. It controls a wide range of pests including aphids, mites scale and mealybugs.

FOLIAGE SPRAYS
This includes our special Gypsy Moth Spray Program. These foliage sprays are scheduled throughout May and June to control not only Gypsy Moths but other leaf chewing insects as well.
