Common Pests & Tree Diseases Solved by Systemic and Horticultural Oil Spraying

Tree spraying effectively addresses numerous pest and disease issues that plague trees in the Charlotte, Lake Norman, and Asheville areas. Common pests include aphids, borers, caterpillars, Emerald Ash Borer, and spider mites. While these critters may be tiny, even microscopic in some cases, they can take down even the tallest timber in no time.

Diseases also pose a significant threat to trees in this region. Fungal diseases like anthracnose, powdery mildew, and root rot are often found affecting both deciduous and evergreen tree species. Spraying treatments work to control and prevent the spread of these diseases, ensuring your trees continue to thrive.

Signs of Tree Disease & Pest Infestation

When pests or diseases strike, timely intervention can prevent further damage and save the trees. Below is a list of common signs that your trees may be facing pest infestation or disease:

Discolored or wilting leaves
Unusual leaf drop
Holes in the bark or wood
Visible pests like beetles or aphids
Fungal growth on branches or trunks
Dead or dying branches
Cracked or peeling bark

Tree Species That Benefit Most From Spraying

While all trees can benefit from professional spraying services, some species are particularly susceptible to pests and diseases than others. In Charlotte, Lake Norman, and Asheville, species like oaks, maples, and pines are frequently affected by pests like aphids, beetles, and caterpillars. Spraying these species helps protect and promote healthy trees so they can remain strong and stunning parts of your landscape for years to come.

Regular Spraying Services for a Precautionary Approach

In addition to tree spraying treatments specifically designed for eliminating an immediate pest problem or disease, there are several preventative tree spraying treatments that can help stop these issues from occurring in the first place. These treatments focus on strengthening your trees, deterring potential threats, and maintaining overall tree health. Here are some common options:

Dormant Oil Sprays: Dormant oils are applied during the tree's dormant season (late fall or early spring) to suffocate overwintering insects, eggs, or larvae. These treatments are especially effective against pests like aphids, mites, and scale insects. Dormant oils are also safe for trees and do not affect beneficial insects that are active later in the season.
Fungicidal Sprays: Fungicide treatments are often used preventatively to protect against diseases like powdery mildew, leaf spots, and anthracnose, which are common in humid climates like Charlotte. These treatments are essential for trees that have shown signs of disease in the past.
Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): IGRs are preventive sprays designed to disrupt the life cycle of common pests like caterpillars and beetles before they can cause damage. These treatments don’t kill adult insects immediately but stop the immature stages from maturing, preventing infestations from growing.
Systemic Insecticides: Systemic insecticides are absorbed by the tree and help protect it from pests by circulating the chemical through the tree’s vascular system. These insecticides target pests like emerald ash borer and other borers common to Charlotte. They are effective against pests that feed on the tree’s leaves, stems, or roots.
Neem Oil Sprays: Neem oil acts as both a pesticide and fungicide. It's a natural, organic option for those looking to reduce the use of synthetic chemicals. Neem oil helps manage soft-bodied pests like aphids and can also prevent fungal diseases.

The frequency of treatments largely depends on the specific trees in your yard, the history of issues, and local pest and disease pressure. Our expert arborists are here to do a thorough evaluation of your landscape and recommend the best spray schedule for the needs of your trees and your budget.
