Winter Oil

Winter is the time to apply miscible horticultural oil ("Winter Oil") to kill overwintering mites, aphids, and scale on deciduous trees and shrubs. Scale insects are common pests of shade trees and shrubs, causing damage and browning. More than 60 species exist, yet they are often overlooked or ignored until tree or shrub branches “mysteriously” start to die. Upon closer examination, these branches are likely to be covered with small bumps that are actually scale insects that damage plants by sucking out plant juice.

Our annual Winter Oil Treatment acts to smother dormant insects and seal disease spores. It's the best protection for your shrubs and trees through the harsh winter conditions. Contact us today to schedule your treatment!
