Our tree healthcare experts are well-versed in effective management strategies to control Cooley spruce gall adelgid and protect your spruces from their damaging effects.
Spotted Lanternfly: Battling an Invasive Threat
The Spotted Lanternfly is an invasive species that has become a growing problem in many Northeastern states, including Pennsylvania. These destructive pests can be detrimental to the health of trees and other plants, particularly during heavy infestations. With their vibrant red wing pads and black spots, matured Spotted Lanternflies are easily recognizable, making them a target for our pest management solutions. Our team is equipped to tackle Spotted Lanternfly infestations and protect your trees from their damaging effects.
Gypsy Moth: Preventing Mortalities on Shade Trees
Heavy pressure from gypsy moth infestations can cause mortalities on shade trees, especially in stressful urban sites.
