What are shrub and tree pests?

When it comes to tree and shrub pests, the answer to what they are is simple: unwelcome intruders on our Texas properties that cause damage to plant life. Pests like borers, scales, and aphids attack and damage the leaves, bark, and branches of trees, shrubs, and other landscaping. Though tiny in size, when these insects work together, the damage they cause in our yards is significant.

Are shrub and tree pests dangerous?

Tree and shrub pests are insects that cause damage, disfiguration, and even death to the trees and shrubs they are using as a food source. Your once-thriving greenery can quickly become damaged by tree and shrub pests. Landscaping your property is not a cheap endeavor, and the damage that boars, scales, and aphids cause is costly.

Why do I have a shrub and tree pest problem?

Tree and shrub pests easily become a problem on our properties because we often don’t notice them until a full-blown infestation occurs. Any property with shrubs, trees, and other greenery can become home to aphids, borers, scales, and other tree and shrub pests. These tiny insects won’t hesitate to take advantage of the food, moisture, and shelter our yard’s trees and shrubs provide them.

Where will I find shrub and tree pests?

Where exactly you will find tree and shrub pests depends on their exact species:

  • Borers are insects that lay their eggs on or inside healthy trees. When the larvae hatch, they use the living tissues in the tree as a food source.
  • Scales are sucking insects that feed on the leaves of a wide variety of trees and shrubs.
  • Aphids feed on plants using special mouthparts that pierce a plant’s stems, leaves, and shoots.
