In the Midwestern states there are insects that are specific to our area. We have the equipment and treatment options — including systemic spraying, fertilization, insecticides and systemic injections — to address these problems.

Tree Insects

Emerald Ash Borer

Borers burrow underneath the bark of trees and shrubs in Nebraska; certain beetles and moths are classified as borers and mostly attack injured or stressed trees. We use sprays and injection insecticides to treat these insects.

Japanese Beetles

A green and brown iridescent beetle and one of the most devastating pests of urban landscapes in the U.S. Larvae overwinter as grubs feeding on roots; adults move into the canopy and skeletonize leaves.

Bagworms

Bagworms appear first in late May or early June. They can be controlled with insecticide and, if left untreated, can be a lethal threat to your trees.

Zimmerman Pine Moth

Zimmerman Pine Moths can cause lethal damage to Scots and Austrian pines. We have diagnostic tools to detect their presence and the insecticide sprays to control this pest.

Scale Insects

Scale insect detection has been increasingly on the rise in Nebraska. These insects remove vital plant fluids and weaken the plant internally — observed on Aspen, Birch, Linden, Maples, Oaks, Pines and Spruce.

Tree Diseases

Tip Blight

A fungal disease affecting pine tips; treatable with timely fungicide applications.

Needle Blight

Causes browning and loss of needles in evergreens; managed through preventative spraying programs.

Cedar Apple Rust

Alternates between cedar/juniper and apple/crabapple hosts; managed through targeted fungicide treatments.

Apple Scab

A common disease of apple and crabapple causing leaf spotting and early defoliation if untreated.
