This service is for those budget-minded homeowners with minimal landscaping (see below), or those with full landscaping who do much of their own work and still need periodic professional treatments to lessen the plant sucking insect populations that draw ants, spiders, and other crawling insects to the property.

Reward program treatments are performed for annual service plan customers at the time of their regularly scheduled service.

These plants are Major Hosts for plant attacking insects (aphids, whitefly, etc.).
Roses	Hibiscus	Conifers	Fruit Trees	Citrus

Plant insects and their secretions are the major food sources for ants and spiders.
Keeping these plants in check is the first step in ant and spider control.
We maintain an active inventory of all plants on your property to ensure the proper service is always performed.


		EARLY OCTOBER to MID NOVEMBER Plants, small trees, and the entire grounds are inspected and treated where necessary to reduce egg-laying insect populations. (Note - Adult insects are controlled prior to egg laying. Also, as the weather cools, be careful not to over water. This can encourage the growth of fungus). Fruit trees may not be treated when we are using certain products.
		MID NOVEMBER to LATE DECEMBER Treatable plants, small trees and fruit trees are sprayed using a Botanical product to control the eggs of sucking, homopterous insects. This treatment is not applied to certain evergreen trees (such as pine, junipers, and cypress). The treatment will keep your plants healthy and reduce fungus damage. Fungus spores multiply rapidly in the damp, dark conditions that last through late March.
		LATE DECEMBER TO EARLY FEBRUARY A second Botanical product is applied to provide control before insect eggs can hatch, and continued control of plant-damaging spores is accomplished. These first two treatments during the winter are critical to controlling your insects later during the warmer months, and providing effective year-round control.
		EARLY FEBRUARY to MID MARCH Plants, small trees including evergreens, and the entire grounds are inspected and treated where necesary as the weather starts to warm. This reduces the first crop of new migrating insects. A Botanical Insecticide/Fungicide is applied to plants and fruit trees for healthier plants as fungus continues to be a problem during this time of year. Plants that are infected with a fungus become easily stressed. This stress leads to the drawing of more homopterous insects which in turn draw ants and spiders to your property.
		MID MARCH to EARLY MAY A treatment using Botanical or low impact products is applied to most plants, shrubs, and trees to reduce migrating insect populations. Insect activity is picking up this time of the year as the weather warms.
		EARLY MAY TO MID JUNE A final Botanical treatment is applied to most of your plants, shrubs, and trees before the summer heat begins to affect your plants. We then suspend these treatments during the warm season, as your plants will be under stress from the hot weather. NOTE—DEPENDING UPON YOUR SERVICE SCHEDULING, THE TREATMENTS PERFORMED ON YOUR HOME AND LANDSCAPING MAY VARY BY A FEW WEEKS.

All these treatments are done for you at no extra charge because you have chosen this annual service program.

*No implied guarantees for plant insects or fungi.
