Dealing with insects and mites in Bay Area trees
Some common symptoms of insects and mites in trees and shrubs:
- Yellowing leaves
- Silvering leaves,
- Leaves turning black with sooty mold,
- Foliage covered in huge nets of webbing,
- Oak leaves being devoured by caterpillars
- Shrubbery covered in white, stringy/cottony powder
- White flies swarming around trees and shrubs
- Sticky sidewalks, patios and car windows
These symptoms often appear after your landscape has become infested with an insect or mite pest. These pests feed on your trees and shrubs and can cause damage to leaves and stems. While some of these pests will go away naturally and not cause lasting tree damage, others may persist or damage your plants heavily. We can treat fr these pests with safe products that are applied to the leaves, roots or directly into the trunk so that the chemical is taken up into the tree internally.
