Certified Arbor Care tree care specialists create tree insect, disease and pest prevention protocols that help improve the health of trees and extend the life of mature trees. We inspect tree populations for signs of tree disease, defoliating insects and pest infestations that can lead to significant damage and destruction of trees, which are attractive assets and one of the most valuable components of properties.

Not only can insect infestations lead to tree diseases, but fungus and other pests can cause significant damage and even tree mortality. Healthy trees are much less susceptible to insects and diseases. Improper maintenance, however, such as poor pruning methods and overwatering can making trees weaker and less healthy, accelerating their vulnerability to pest infestations and resulting diseases.

Commons tree diseases in the Austin area can include:

• Cotton root rot.
• Common root rot.
• Fire blight.
• Hypoxylon canker fungus.
• Oak anthracnose.
• Oak wilt.
• Phytophthora root rot.
• Tubakia and actinopelte leaf spot.

Trees that are healthy can withstand a single defoliation episode, but two or more defoliations in consecutive years can result in the decline or death of a tree, according to the Texas Forest Service. This is why inspection, identification of tree insect and diseases, diagnosis, prevention and treatment are critical.

Common insect pests include beetles, butterflies, cankerworms, fall web worms, forest tent caterpillars, katydids, moths, oak leaf rollers, walking sticks and wood borers. We can help mitigate or eliminate all of these pests and more.
