Integrated Pest Management / Plant Health Care Unlike your lawn, which has one type of plant, your landscape is made up of many different kinds of trees and shrubs. Each type will develop different problems and require unique treatments. With our annual Tree and Shrub care program, "Arbor Guard", your landscape plants fall under the watchful eyes of your Tree and Shrub Technician. They will monitor your landscape approximately every 6-8 weeks for damaging problems like mites, bagworms, lacebugs, and diseases. During their first visit, they will draw a map, identifying all the plantings in your landscape. If a problem is detected during their visit, they will mark the map, and treat the problem. You are left a copy of the map so you know exactly what was treated and why. Your visits will also include a spring and fall application of horticultural oil. Horticultural oil is a very effective way to control soft-bodied insects like mites, lacebugs and aphids with little harm to beneficial organisms, and is safe for people and the environment. Service Calls Service calls are available on the Complete Care program at no additional charge, for problems that may occur between your regular visits. Service calls are an additional charge on the Essential Care program. |
