EARLY OCTOBER to MID NOVEMBER
Plants, small trees, and the entire grounds are inspected and treated where necesary 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).
|
 |
 |
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). (Note - Control of the insect egg stage prior to hatching is one of the most important tools of our service!) While working to control the egg stage we are not spraying the entire grounds, as this pesticide is not labeled for soil insects. |

 |
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 LATE MARCH
Treatable plants, small trees including evergreens, fruit and citrus are power sprayed using an Botanical insecticide/fungicide as the weather starts to warm. This reduces the first crop of new migrating insects. 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. |
 |
 |
LATE MARCH to EARLY MAY
Plants, small trees, and the entire grounds are inspected and treated where necessary to gain control over the seasonal migration of plant attacking insects. Our experienced technicians search out locations likely to harbor future ant colonies. An botanical and/or low-impact granular insecticide is applied to these areas to prevent establishment of these colonies. |
 |
 |
EARLY MAY TO MID JUNE
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.
NOTE—DEPENDING UPON YOUR SERVICE SCHEDULING, THE TREATMENTS PERFORMED ON YOUR HOME AND LANDSCAPING MAY VARY BY A FEW WEEKS.
