Stop Pests Before They Destroy Your Trees

South Florida’s tropical climate hosts a wide variety of insects and mites that can damage or kill trees and shrubs. From sap-sucking whiteflies and scale insects to devastating palm weevils and boring beetles, early identification and treatment is essential.

Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach combines monitoring, biological controls, cultural practices, and targeted treatments to manage pests effectively while minimizing pesticide use and protecting beneficial insects.

Don’t wait until damage is severe. Many pest infestations show subtle signs initially—sticky residue, sooty mold, yellowing leaves, or tiny holes—that indicate problems requiring immediate attention.

Pest Management Services

Sucking Insect Control

Treatment for whiteflies, aphids, scale insects, mealybugs, and psyllids that weaken trees by extracting sap and spreading diseases.

Spider Mite Treatment

Control of spider mites and eriophyid mites that cause stippling, bronzing, and defoliation—especially damaging in hot, dry conditions.

Boring Insect Treatment

Control of wood-boring beetles, palm weevils, and ambrosia beetles that tunnel into trunks and branches causing structural damage.

Trunk Injection Treatments

Systemic insecticides injected directly into the tree's vascular system for long-lasting, targeted control without spray drift.

Horticultural Oil Sprays

Low-toxicity oil treatments that smother soft-bodied insects and mites while being safe for beneficial insects when applied correctly.

Preventive Programs

Scheduled monitoring and preventive treatments for high-value trees and properties with recurring pest pressure.
