Expert Insect and Pest Control for Your Trees

Your trees are valuable assets, contributing to your property’s beauty and value. But without proper care, they can fall victim to various insects, pests, and diseases. Here in Colorado, trees face unique challenges from both native and invasive pests that can cause significant damage.

Therefore, a proactive approach with professional pest control and plant health care is the most effective way to protect your trees.

Common Pests in Colorado:

Our climate makes Colorado’s trees susceptible to a range of issues. In fact, various pests, from tiny aphids to aggressive borers, can weaken or kill trees. Some common threats we see are:

• Emerald Ash Borer (EAB): This invasive beetle is a major threat to all ash trees. Its larvae tunnel under the bark, cutting off nutrient flow. It was confirmed to be in Denver in June 2025.

• Mountain Pine Beetle: This native pest has devastated pine forests across Colorado. They attack mature pine trees, leaving a distinct boring dust on the bark.

• Aphids and Mites: These tiny insects feed on tree leaves. As a result, they cause discoloration, stunted growth, and a sticky “honeydew” that attracts other pests.

• Fungal Diseases: Diseases like Cytospora Canker or Dutch Elm Disease can infect a tree’s vascular system. Subsequently, they lead to dieback, wilting, and eventual death.

The Dangers of an Ignored Problem

Ignoring a pest or disease issue can have serious consequences. For instance, a weakened tree becomes more susceptible to problems like drought stress and storm damage. A minor infestation can quickly escalate into a health crisis for your tree, potentially making it a safety hazard. Ultimately, removing a dead or dying tree is often more expensive and dangerous than treating it proactively.

Our Approach to Insect and Pest Control

We believe in a science-based, comprehensive approach to pest control and tree health. We begin with a thorough inspection by a certified arborist to accurately diagnose the problem. Following that, we create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific tree, the type of pest, and the severity of the infestation.

Our services include:

• Targeted Insecticide Applications: We use systemic treatments, like soil drenches or trunk injections, to deliver the solution directly to the tree’s vascular system. This method is both effective and minimizes environmental impact.

• Nutritional Support: Trees stressed by an infestation can benefit from fertilization. This helps them regain strength and vigor.
