Comprehensive control of armored and soft scale pests
Scale insects are armored pests that attach to stems and leaves, feeding on plant sap and weakening your trees and shrubs. Their protective coating makes them challenging to control, but our targeted treatment programs effectively manage even severe infestations.
Effective scale control requires precise timing. We target the vulnerable crawler stage with horticultural oils and systemic insecticides. Dormant oil applications in late winter/early spring smother overwintering scales before they reproduce.
Heavy infestations may require multiple applications throughout the year. Our plant health care programs include regular monitoring and treatments timed to each scale species' life cycle for maximum effectiveness.
Untreated scale infestations progressively weaken plants, causing yellowing, branch dieback, and eventually plant death. Early intervention and consistent management protect your landscape investment and restore plant vigor.
Schedule an inspection to identify scale species and develop an effective treatment plan.
