Beginning
shortly, ARBORTECH will be spraying for the suppression of Gypsy
Moths. Call to schedule this service while the caterpillars are
immature enough to be eliminated. Due to our diligence, the problem
of Gypsy Moths has now become more manageable. However, if you
have had a problem in the past, you should consider this treatment
again. Don’t forget ARBORTECH’s treatment for Turpentine
Beetles – a two-time application designed to control the
problem. With an application of dormant oil spray early this season,
we can prevent insects from damaging your trees. ARBORTECH’s
Dormant Oil Spraying Program has proven successful to our customers.
The time to spray is late March/early April, before the bud break.
We are scheduling now for this important service.
The
Hemlock Wooley Adelgid remains rampant here on the Cape. This
adelgid can be devastating for hemlocks; fatal if not treated
properly. Call us to examine your plants to see if treatment is
needed.
In
early December 2003, on a fairly mild day, we noticed “clouds
of white” – especially along stretches of Route 6A.
The mass of flying bugs was thick and highly visible. These critters
are known as “Winter Moth”. The caterpillar stage
emerges in early spring – crawls to the end of branches
and decimates the newly growing foliage. A huge population has
now been documented and we highly recommend spraying to control
the situation. Refer to the Springtime Service Selection Guide
& Spraying Authorization form.
Last
summer’s severe heat may have caused shock or damage to
a number of your trees and shrubs. Deep Root Feeding would be
most beneficial to the longevity and health of your landscape,
which may have been damaged due to drought.
To
schedule ARBORTECH’s Annual Spraying, simply fill out the
enclosed Springtime Service Selection Guide & Spraying Authorization
form and drop it in the mail before the end of March.
Right
now, during the winter months when trees, especially pines, are
in their dormant stage, is an excellent time to do pruning. The
limbs are easily visible without leaves and precise pruning can
be accomplished.
