Identifying Threats...
The first step is proper identification. Our experienced team can diagnose pest, disease, and disorder issues affecting your plants. We’ll use a combination of visual inspection, knowledge of common problems in your region, and if necessary, laboratory testing to pinpoint the exact culprit.
Pest Control
Once we identify the pest, we’ll recommend a targeted control strategy. We prioritize eco-friendly methods whenever possible, such as:
Natural predators
Introducing beneficial insects like ladybugs or praying mantises that prey on harmful pests.
Insecticidal soap or neem oil
These organic options can effectively control a variety of soft-bodied insects.
Targeted traps
Pheromone traps or sticky traps can lure and capture specific pests. If necessary, we may also recommend the use of low-impact commercial insecticides. However, we'll always prioritize the safety of your plants, your family, and the environment.
Disease Management
Many plant diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria, or viruses. We can recommend preventative measures like proper watering techniques, good air circulation around plants, and using disease-resistant varieties. For existing problems, we may suggest
Fungicides or bactericides
These can be applied as sprays or drenches to combat specific diseases.
Pruning and removal
Sometimes, removing infected plant parts or entire plants is necessary to prevent further spread.
