Dangers of Pest: Disease spread
Pest and disease control is an important part of property tree care. Pests and diseases attack a tree’s natural immune system and can cause damage and even shorten its lifespan. Unchecked, pests and diseases may spread, weakening or destroying entire tree populations.
If untreated, pests like gypsy moths, eastern tent caterpillars, spring and fall cankerwork or even Asian long-horned beetle and emerald ash borer can become fatal to trees or even entire tree populations. Diseases such as oak wilt, verticillium wilt, fireblight and nectria canker may also be a great threat.
Advanced Tree Care uses non-chemical controls as its first line of defense. Using non-chemical controls enhances a tree’s ability to fight problems naturally, which improves overall health and vigor. However, in extreme cases in which the tree is unable to fight the disease or pest on its own, pesticides are recommended.
