Tree Pest and Disease Control FAQs
Do you have a question about tree pests or diseases? See if we answer it in our FAQs, and if you’re still wondering, get in touch with us today!
Can diseases or pests spread from one tree to another?
Yes. If left untreated, an infected tree can rapidly spread pests or diseases to surrounding trees or plants. That’s why tree removal is often the best choice for trees that have severe infections or infestations: it lessens the likelihood of future spread.
How do I stop pests and diseases from attacking my trees?
Ensuring trees are healthy and receiving good sun, water, and fertilizer and are healing correctly after damage is the most important step in pest and disease management. Trees that are stressed, damaged, or lacking proper nutrients cannot fight off diseases or pests.
Can pests or diseases kill a tree?
Yes, many pests and diseases are known to kill trees – especially if left untreated. Being proactive and treating infections early will help keep your tree healthy for years to come.
