Deer Repellent
Deer are causing extensive damage to home landscapes, gardens and farms. Deer resistant plants are no guarantee, since the high deer population in urban areas and harsh winters create a competitive environment. Your plants need to be protected. We use an all- organic product consisting of 100% food grade quality ingredients. This product has a pleasant “mint” smell to humans; however, it is disliked by the deer. Applied once a month, the deer will learn to dislike your plants and eventually direct them away from your property.
Gypsy Moth Caterpillar Management
The Gypsy Moth is most commonly discussed during the spring and summer months, as it is the time of year people see the adult caterpillars on their property. Very high populations in a small area can defoliate a tree in a matter of days. You should schedule a preventative treatment to all host trees (typically hardwoods such as Maple, Oak, Apple, Poplar, Birch, and Willow) to be applied in May when the larvae first emerge from the eggs. Your valuable trees will look and feel better.
Japanese Beetle Treatments
Both the beetles and the larvae seriously injure plants. The adult beetle seems to prefer the rose, but will also feed on woody ornamentals such as crape myrtle, flowering cherry, flowering crabapple, Japanese maple, linden, and gray birch. Topical sprays and soil injections can help to protect your plants. |
