The Power of Tree Oil Treatments
When pests attack your trees, they can weaken them from the inside out. Horticultural oils, often referred to as tree oils, are a powerful way to protect your landscape without harsh chemicals.
How Tree Oil Works
These treatments target insects at their most vulnerable stage: eggs and larvae. By smothering them, the oils prevent pests like scale insects, aphids, and mites from maturing and spreading. Unlike some pesticides, tree oils break down quickly, making them safe for the environment and beneficial insects.
Best Time for Treatment
Fall is an excellent time to apply tree oils. Many pests lay eggs before winter, preparing to emerge in spring. A fall application stops them early, reducing infestations before they start.
Benefits of Tree Oil Treatments
- Environmentally friendly and safe for beneficial insects
- Prevents overwintering pest populations
- Protects tree health and promotes strong spring growth
Tree oils are an easy, effective step to ensure your trees survive pests and thrive year after year.
