Tree Disease Control Atlanta GA

Landscape trees are often stressed by soil nutrient deficiencies, drought, or compacted soil, all of which predispose them to disease, insect infestation, and physiological problems. Consequently, diseases and insects can become serious threats to your yard’s health. As soon as you notice any abnormality in any of your trees, you should have a licensed tree services company carefully analyze the situation to determine if you have a disease or insect problem on your hands.

Disease and insect infestation are typically an ongoing battle for some types of trees. Variables that determine the type of disease or insect infestation you may be dealing with are the species of the tree, the size of the tree, climate, and geographic area as well as the pathology of particular tree diseases and the insects that thrive in certain regions of the country.

In general, it is difficult to tell the difference in a tree that is being destroyed by insects and one that is diseased. Sometimes the disease draws the insects and sometimes the insect infestation weakens the tree and may result in a disease gaining a foothold in that tree. If you see fluid exuded from a tree hole, you can be fairly confident that the hole is caused by Insect infestation. Trees that are diseased and/or infested will show signs of not only holes, but signs of defoliation, dry twigs, discoloration of leaves, scaling and growth deformities as well.

In addition, gall forming insects can cause malformations on trees that result in swollen or deformed stems, retarded or dead buds, and fluffy, fuzzy or unusual growths on leaves. Galls are usually caused by small wasps, flies, mites or disease. At first, many of these formations appear decorative; however, a persistent and continuous infestation or disease can be terminal to your trees.
