Please find the list of Plant Health Care treatments Total Tree Care offers below:

Dormant Oil Treatment

This treatment is performed when your trees are dormant. This is an important application because it exterminates insects and their eggs before they hatch.

Leaf Miner Treatments

The most effective protection available for your trees and evergreen shrubs to help control this destructive leaf insect.

Scale Insect Treatments

This application aids in the control of devastating scale insects. A dense population of these insects can kill your trees and ornamentals within a few weeks if they are not controlled.

Mite Treatments

Mites cause damage by sucking the cell contents from leaves. At high populations, mites often severely damage or kill shrubs and evergreens.

Lace Bug Treatments

Lace bugs are a major pest of azaleas and andromedas. They can destroy and kill your valuable shrubs.

Black Vine Weevil Treatments

This insect is a serious pest of broad leaf evergreens. The more serious damage is done by grubs (larval stage) which feed on the roots and may girdle the main stem often killing the plant.

Tree and Evergreen Treatment

This treatment is a must for most properties. It aids in the control of most chewing and sucking insects including scale and lace bugs.

Fall Oil Treatment

This application provides extremely effective control for hemlocks or spruce trees, which may have infestations of spruce gall, scale, or hemlock woolly adelgid.

Anti-Desiccant/Deer Repellant

Many shrubs and evergreens need protection for the winter. Anti-Desiccant protects broad leaf shrubs from winter burn. Deer repellant safely protects plants from deer browsing and feeding.
