Insect Control

If you have trees and shrubs on your property, you have a responsibility to keep them healthy, nourished, and well-maintained. TruGreen® tree services are designed to give you peace of mind and keep your landscape as lush, vibrant, and beautiful as possible.

For certain varieties of plants, a special application can be applied to help control difficult types of insects in their overwintering stage, before damage occurs. Your TruGreen tree and shrub specialist will spray horticultural oil on the bark of affected plants, where overwintering insects, eggs and diseases may be growing. This plant protection can prevent significant damage to your landscape when performed at the right time.

Some pests have life cycles that include overwintering within the shelter of a tree and creating damage in the spring. These pests usually require a discerning eye to spot and intensive training for proper treatment. Your TruGreen specialists have both. In many cases, TruGreen's horticultural oil can control winter pests, nipping spring damage in the bud.
