Specialized treatments for spider mites and eriophyid mites
Mites are microscopic pests that cause disproportionate damage to ornamental plants. Their rapid reproduction and resistance to many pesticides make them particularly challenging. Our specialized treatment programs effectively control mite populations and restore plant health.
Effective mite control requires miticides specifically formulated for these pests. We use a rotation of products to prevent resistance, timed applications to target multiple generations, and thorough coverage to reach mites on undersides of leaves.
Regular monitoring detects mite populations before visible damage occurs. We encourage beneficial predatory mites, adjust irrigation to reduce stress, and time treatments for maximum impact while preserving beneficial insects.
Mite damage accumulates over seasons, progressively weakening plants and reducing their aesthetic value. Hot, dry conditions favor mite reproduction, making Long Island summers ideal for outbreaks. Our proactive programs prevent damage before it starts.
