Topic: Spring Insect Control –  Tree Service MA & RI

At Tree Tech, we’re dedicated to providing you with the best tree service in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including great advice from our certified aborists. Here’s some tips on insect control for spring:

• April is a good time to schedule chemical tree treatments for winter moth and other plant damaging insects.
• Moisture is necessary for most plant and tree diseases to thrive. Target watering to turf and bed surfaces. Avoid wetting of foliage.
• Air movement and light penetration favor plant health and reduces pest problems. Conditions can be improved through proper plant spacing at planting and good pruning and trimming practices.
• Good sanitation reduces the source and habitat of insects and diseases and helps control outbreaks. Removal of leaves and debris beneath plants with known problems is beneficial. Heavy deposits of leaves on turf or groundcovers over the winter will cause damage.
• Vigorous, healthy plants with good reserves can fight off pests and resist environmental stress much better than those in a weakened condition.
