Professional Boring Insect Protection Programs in Colorado Springs, CO
Protect your Spruce, Pine, and Ash trees with professional tree insect applications.
What’s Included In A Boring Insect Protection Program?
Boring insects continue to be a serious problem along the Front Range, damaging thousands of trees every year. Spruce, pine, and ash trees are especially vulnerable, particularly when they're stressed by drought, poor soil, or a lack of moisture. Keeping trees healthy with deep root fertilization can help reduce stress and improve their ability to withstand insect activity.
We apply this preventative treatment in early spring before boring insects become active. Treating susceptible trees early helps protect them before they have the chance to tunnel beneath the bark and cause lasting damage.
Applications are scheduled in late March depending on the weather. We take pride in being a timely and informative tree care service company that can resolve your tree care needs with a scheduled appointment. Learn How Ash Borers Damage Trees
