  ENVIROCARE/PEST & DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Call us to have your trees and shrubs inspected regularly for pests and diseases. We will only provide treatment when it is completely necessary with environmentally friendly products. Some companies will spray trees over and over again without checking pest populations first. We only do inspect and treat programs. Once again we believe in being PROACTIVE by keeping trees and shrubs healthy by proper fertilizing and watering. A healthy plant resists pests and diseases much better than an unhealthy one. The following are some pests we typically have in the Edmonton area:
The very best treatment is preventative maintenance and selecting the right tree for the right location at the time of planting.
  Yellowheaded Sawfly Larvae - usually mid June to July on Spruce Trees
Forest Tent Caterpillars - young caterpillars hatch around early May on Aspen, Poplar, Maple, Birch, Ash and sometimes fruit trees
Satin Moth - usually in May and sometimes again in late summer on Willow and Poplar trees
Cottony Psyllids - little control with any sprays on Black Ash trees
Ash Leaf/Cone Caterpillar - early to mid June migrates on a silk line on Green Ash trees
Pear Sawfly - early June on Purple Leaf Sandcherry and Cottoneaster
