Insect & Disease Control
Treescape’s approach to controlling common tree insects and diseases is environmentally friendly. Where treatments are necessary, we use bio-insecticides.
Our trained professionals focus their efforts on correctly identifying the insect or disease and creating a care plan that focuses on increasing the tree’s overall health as means of combating its attacker.
Some of these efforts may include corrective pruning and deep root fertilizing.
Treating for Emerald Ash Borer
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a small, slender metallic green beetle approximately 8.5 to 13 mm long. Originally from Asia, this invasive pest has no natural predators here in North America and threatens all species of ash trees in Canada and the United States.
The EAB has killed millions of ash trees in Southern and Eastern Ontario since it’s 2002 discovery in the Windsor, ON area.
EAB populations have been confirmed throughout Treesape’s service area. Sadly, we have been removing infected trees and dying trees throughout Peterborough and the Kawartha Lakes region since 2014.
Fortunately, there is a treatment option for your beloved backyard trees or specimen tree in your community
