Living organisms, such as trees, are susceptible to various threats such as insect infestations and diseases that can adversely affect their health. When trees are healthy, they have a greater ability to fend off these threats, but when they are compromised, they can suffer damage that may eventually lead to their death and removal. Therefore, it’s important to promptly seek the help of a professional arborist if you observe any symptoms that could indicate a potential problem.
At Hendricksen Tree Care, we offer a range of tree maintenance and treatment services to residents of Gurnee, IL. Our skilled arborists specialize in preventative measures and accurate diagnoses of issues such as insect infestations and diseases. In the event of a problem, we will work with you to determine the most effective strategies to restore your trees to good health.
Tree Disease Treatment
Your tree can be impacted by a variety of diseases that can result in issues such as leaf loss, injury to branches or the trunk, and a reduction in growth. Although many tree diseases stem from bacterial or fungal infections, factors like droughts can also impose stress on trees, causing symptoms that resemble those of a disease. If you observe any of the indications listed below in your trees, it’s critical to contact our team of arborists at Hendricksen Tree Care without delay:
- Dried or discolored foliage
- Weak and dying branches
- Abnormal growths on trunks or branches
- Powdery substances or dark spots on the leaves
Our arborists will carry out a thorough examination of your trees to determine the underlying issue. After the diagnosis of the disease, we will consult with you regarding potential treatments that can reduce symptoms and improve the overall health of the tree. Upon reaching an agreement on the most effective course of action, we will start the treatment of the impacted trees.
Tree Insect Treatment
While some insects can have a positive impact on trees, there are others that can cause harm by depleting the tree of nutrients and causing physical damage. Insects that feed on foliage, such as Japanese beetles, or those that bore into the trunk to consume wood and nutrients, like the emerald ash borer, can inflict significant harm on trees and compromise their overall health.
Indications of an insect infestation can include leaves that have been stripped bare or small holes in the bark where insects have entered and exited. If you notice any of these indications, it’s crucial to contact our arborists right away. We will assess the nature of the insect infestation and recommend the most effective strategy to address the issue. Once a treatment plan has been agreed upon, we will start treatment to eliminate the pests.
Our tree insect treatment services may include the following:
- Trunk injection
- Soil injection
- Bark spray
- Canopy spray
