YOUR LANDSCAPE ISN'T YOUR OWN...

It belongs to the pests (and beneficial organisms)

that live there too.

Your landscape plants support a diversity of creatures - some good, others not. While following their natural inclinations, pests look for trees and shrubs that are susceptible to infestation. Early detection and proper treatment goes a long way toward maintaining valuable plantings. Below are a few pests that are still active in your gardens:

• Hemlock Wooly Adelgid - Originally from Asia, this sucking insect attacks both Canadian and Carolina hemlock, rapidly killing previously healthy trees.

• Spruce Spider Mite - A tiny pest of spruces, hemlocks, arborvitae, junipers and other conifers, the spruce spider mite is often most damaging in the cool weather of spring and fall.

Your landscape is a valuable investment in time, money and beauty. Periodic inspections and treatments done by a knowledgeable arborist are necessary to detect insect damage and keep it to a minimum on your property. Call me at 877-BARTLETT or e-mail at jwood@bartlett.com can offer advice regarding pest management and can apply necessary treatments.
