We offer spraying service for trees, hedges and fruit/ nut trees to prevent infestations and disease. We use tree injections for large trees which prevents major overspray and prevents waste. Below are some spraying we may help you with.
Property Insect Control - We can spray and insecticide over your entire property if you have a bug problem. It does not damage any plant life and can be sprayed on lawn areas as well as your foundation to help reduce bugs getting in your home.
We use an organic insect and disease / fungicide control on fruit trees during the growing season. Safe to use around pets and children and can be used up to the day of harvest. During fall and winter we spray a dormant oil to prevent eggs wintering over. We can spray at any time, but schedule a regular service for discounted rate. Details for spray used during growing season: (From manufacturer) How does this spray work? • Dense oil spray smothers target insects on contact • Once liquid dries, a micro-film is left on the plant. Any hatchlings of the target insects get trapped in the film and die • Females arriving after treatment detect the film and will not lay eggs on the treated plant; recognizing the area as hazard to their eggs • The fatty acids in the oil are toxic to the target insects
What insects will this spray control? • Spray kills the eggs, larvae & nymphs of insects and the adult stages of over 25 soft bodied insects including (but not limited to) fungus gnats, aphids, citrus rust mites, leaf-rollers, mealy bugs, scale insects, spider mites, thrips, *whiteflies, and hemlock wooly adelgid *Whiteflies are the most difficult insect to control because it has such a short life span and repopulates very quickly. Spray will kill them when sprayed directly on contact but will not prevent them from coming back if left on the leaves. • It is soft on Beneficial Insects – will not harm Bees, Butterflies, Ladybugs
What fungicidal properties does spray have? • It controls certain fungal diseases such as (but not limited to) powdery mildew, downy mildew, black spot on roses, greasy spot & helminthosporium • Spray deprives the disease spore of moisture necessary for propagation and protects the plant from germ tube penetration and spreading of pathogens such as powdery mildew
What about plant compatibility? • When used as directed Spray has an unusually high degree of safety to most plants, including herbs, fruits & vegetables. However, some plants in the Euphorbia family (Crown of Thorns, Poinsettia) have shown some sensitivity. If in doubt, test first on a small area of foliage.
Tree and Hedge Spraying - We can spray smaller trees and hedges for many reasons. Our sprays can prevent insects, disease and fungus as well. Spraying Cost We typically charge on a per gallon charge for the first visit, but can quote a set price for on-going regular service generally at a discounted rate. Our visit cost starts at just $65 and normal control of problems would be once in the dormant season (Feb –early Mar), and monthly to every 2 months during growing season. |
