Summertime is here! (That’s right, it’s bug season.) Now that the heat is upon us, we can enjoy our gardens and backyards, but the concern of outdoor pests also weighs on us. How much damage will these pests do to my yard? Is there anything I can buy to combat the issue? Contrary to what marketers want you to believe, many products sold in stores are nowhere near as effective as the ones used by professionals. This ultimately ends with you forking out cash for a product that lasts only half as long as it claims. How do you know when you have a serious pest problem?
Identifying the Signs of a Tree Pest Problem
It’s not always as easy to identify a tree pest issue in your backyard. In most cases, these pests get out of control before they are even noticed. One common sign to look for is leaves on trees with visible chunks missing (due to insect feeding). Also, inspect the bark of your trees. If it is damaged, there may be insects involved. If you see these signs and address them immediately, you may prevent the death of beautiful trees or foliage in your yard. Take control of your home and protect your yard responsibly.
What Happens When You Let Your Pest Problem Grow
Some homeowners may think their insect or pest problem will naturally go away. Unfortunately, this is not how it works and there can be dire consequences to leaving an insect issue unchecked. Pest outbreaks can leave serious damage in their wake. Beautiful trees can die suddenly, and/or become eyesores, just sitting and rotting. Rotting branches and trunks bring other insects and pests to the location, where they breed and create additional problems.
Choosing the Right Service at the Right Time
Keeping your trees beautiful and your gardens pest-free is not an intimidating responsibility when you have the guidance of professionals who can efficiently and effectively maintain the integrity of your outside landscape. Rather than spraying your own trees, buying protective gear and trying to protect yourself, your neighbours and family from fumes, relax and leave the job to the experts. Don’t let tree pests go unmanaged.
It is crucial to combat these pesky tree pests early — before they form colonies. Once a colony is established, ridding yourself of this agitation becomes way more difficult. Various tree services offer complete packages that include outdoor pest control, in addition to regular maintenance.
