When an infestation occurs (as seen in the 2021 gypsy moth caterpillar outbreak) tree spraying is often the best, most effective way to quickly control the problem.

Throughout most of our lives we enjoy nature, travel to cottages, hike, bike, and walk within the trees and most often don't think about the pests that can harm them.  Trees rely on mother nature to provide them with sunlight, water, nutrition, and protection.  However, when invasive species (gypsy moth caterpillars, oak borers, emerald ash borer, carpenter ants, beetles, worms, and other insect lavae) then tree spraying is necessary to protect the tree.

 

How Do I Know I Have a Problem?

The most common evidence of a problem is often seen via the defoliation of trees (leaves being eaten) but the pests may also be visible in nests, or physically crawling on the trees.  If an infestation is present the most often will not resolve on their own and will require the use of insecticides and sprays to control the outbreak.
