Bug Me Not

Who doesn’t hear the words “summer” and “bugs” and think of a neat line of ants getting ready to trespass on plaid blanket supporting a picnic basket full of delicacies. But pests can be a serious summer problem, and can threaten more than your turkey sandwich and potato salad.

Left unchecked, these summer invaders can quickly turn your tree and landscape assets into liabilities. That’s why insect and disease management is such an important part of summer tree care. A keen eye is essential, and proactive monitoring goes a long way towards early detection.
