Effective management of aphid infestations on ornamentals and fruit trees
Aphids are among the most common and damaging pests in Long Island landscapes. These small, soft-bodied insects feed on plant sap, causing distorted growth, honeydew secretions, and sooty mold. Our integrated treatment programs provide effective, lasting control.
We use a combination of horticultural oils, insecticidal soaps, and targeted systemic treatments. Biological controls including beneficial insects are encouraged. Early-season dormant oil applications prevent many spring infestations.
Our approach combines monitoring, cultural practices, and targeted treatments. We preserve beneficial predators like lady beetles and lacewings while controlling aphid populations. Proper timing and treatment selection minimize environmental impact.
Chronic aphid infestations weaken plants, transmit viruses, and create conditions for secondary infections. Our comprehensive plant health care programs include aphid monitoring and control as part of year-round protection.
