What Is Tree Spraying?

Tree spraying is the process of applying pesticides, fungicides, or other treatments directly to your tree’s leaves, branches, or bark to prevent or treat pest infestations and diseases. With special equipment, we apply this chemical remedy to the foliage, bark, and sometimes the soil surrounding the tree’s root zone.

We use this method with careful attention to timing to apply treatments during the most vulnerable stages of pests or diseases. The type of spray we use can also vary depending on the tree species and the specific issue, with potential treatments ranging from synthetic chemicals to organic solutions designed for long-term protection and tree vitality. In the after-care instructions we provide, you’ll have full disclosure on the specific products we use and their ingredients.

Pacific Lawn & Pest: Comprehensive Tree Care

Our tree services help protect your trees from harmful pests and diseases with targeted spraying treatments. By maintaining their health, we ensure your trees thrive year-round in their environment.

We keep your landscape healthy by also providing:

  • Targeted treatments to manage and eliminate harmful insects and diseases affecting trees.
  • Assessments to improve soil conditions for optimal tree health.
  • Regular mowing, fertilization, and aeration to keep your lawn healthy and vibrant.
  • Yard clean-ups to remove debris, leaves, and dead plants.

Does Spraying Prevent or Reverse Tree Disease?

The treatments we provide create a protective barrier on your tree, stopping certain diseases from infecting the leaves, branches, or bark. Preventative sprays are most effective when timed to coincide with key stages in a disease’s life cycle (i.e. in the early spring when fungal spores are most active).

Tree spray is a prophylactic. While it can often slow down early-stage infections, more severe diseases often require other methods. General lawn care, like weeding, regular trimming and mowing, and yard cleanups can help by promoting better soil quality and an overall healthy environment for your trees.

What Types of Trees Can Benefit From Spraying?

Fruit trees, such as apple, pear, and cherry trees, are particularly vulnerable to pests like aphids and codling moths and fungal diseases like apple scab and powdery mildew. Timely spraying, in this case, would protect your trees from infestations and infections that could impact fruit quality.

Other trees, including flowering dogwoods and crabapples, often require treatments to prevent diseases like anthracnose and rust, which are common in Spokane Valley. Pines and firs benefit from spraying to combat pests like aphids, scale insects, and spider mites that thrive in our dry summers.

While certain types of trees are more prone to specific pests and diseases, the need for spraying doesn't always depend on the tree species alone. Species are more important for the type of treatment, while your trees’ overall health determines most of whether or not they benefit from it.

What Are the Signs You Have Tree Pests?

A tree that has pests typically shows signs of stunted growth or chewing holes in the foliage. Common pests include aphids, which cause sticky residue and curled leaves; borers, which create small exit holes in the bark; and spider mites, which leave tiny webbing and cause yellowed or stippled leaves.

Here’s a breakdown of what to look for:

  • Damaged or discolored leaves: Look for yellowing, browning, holes, or curling in the leaves.
  • Visible insects or webbing: You may see pests like aphids, spider mites, or caterpillars, along with webbing or sticky residue.
  • Bark or wood damage: Small holes, sawdust-like material, or peeling bark can indicate the presence of borers or other wood-boring insects.

Do You Need Other Tree Maintenance After Spraying?

Certain lawn and tree maintenance tasks are important after spraying because they help support your tree's recovery from any existing stress caused by pests or diseases while also ensuring they remain strong and less susceptible to future infestations.

Here are a few maintenance tasks we can perform that can help support your trees:

  • Regular watering: Keeping your trees properly hydrated to help them recover from any stress caused by pests or diseases.
  • Mulching: Adding mulch around your garden and trees to help them retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth that could compete for nutrients.
  • Debris removal: Clearing fallen leaves, branches, and other organic debris from around your trees to reduce the chance of reinfection.
  • Soil aeration: Improving soil health and oxygen flow to the roots of your trees by aerating the soil around them.
  • Fertilization: Applying appropriate fertilizers to strengthen your tree’s roots and boost growth, helping it build a better immune response.

How Do You Know Where To Aim Tree Spray?

Spraying only part of the tree or missing key areas can leave pests untreated, reducing the spray's overall effectiveness. Our correct application ensures full coverage and protection of your tree’s vulnerable parts, like the leaves, bark, and branches.

For instance, when treating for aphids, which leave a sticky residue, we spray both the tops and undersides of the leaves where these pests often hide and feed. Ensuring complete coverage in these areas stops the infestation from spreading.

Sometimes, spraying the root zone or soil around the tree is necessary. If this is the case for your trees, we can apply certain systemic insecticides to the surrounding soil, allowing your tree to distribute the protective chemicals throughout its system.

How Much Does Tree Spraying Services Cost?

The cost of our tree spraying services can depend on the size and type of trees, the extent of the pest or disease issue, and the specific treatments required. To give you a better idea of pricing, we always offer free estimates tailored to your unique needs.
