Pest Disease Management
Trees in urban and suburban environments are susceptible to a variety of pests and diseases, which can weaken or even kill trees if left untreated. Urban and Community Forestry professionals have the knowledge and expertise to identify and manage pests and diseases, protecting the health and longevity of trees.
Protecting the Health and Longevity of Trees
Our pest and disease management services involve conducting regular inspections to identify any signs of pests or diseases, such as leaf discoloration, dieback, or insect infestations. Once identified, the appropriate treatment options are determined based on the severity of the infestation and the specific pest or disease present. Treatment options may include cultural practices such as pruning, fertilization, and watering, or chemical treatments such as insecticides or fungicides.
​
Preventative measures are also an essential part of pest and disease management. PEK professionals may recommend planting tree species that are less susceptible to pests and diseases, as well as implementing management practices such as regular pruning and monitoring.
​
Overall, pest and disease management is a critical component of PEK services that helps protect the health and longevity of trees in urban and suburban environments. By identifying and managing pests and diseases,PEK professionals promote a healthier and more sustainable environment for everyone to enjoy.
