FAQs

Yes, we offer preventive treatments that should protect your trees from insect infestations and disease infections in the coming season.

Yes, some insects like the emerald ash borer or bagworms can kill your tree if left untreated. Other insects may only do aesthetic damage to your trees.

A professional won’t spray your trees indiscriminately in a way that harms the environment and kills beneficial insects. When you try to treat trees yourself, you likely won’t be able to target these treatments in the same way.

While we wish we could say that we can save any tree, this is unfortunately not the case. Some trees are too far gone from insect damage, and others may be infected with incurable diseases.
