Pest Control in Bangor, ME

Specialized Pest Treatments for Trees

Protecting your trees from pests is essential to preserving their health and vitality. Healthy trees are more resilient to environmental stressors, allowing them to thrive and provide shade, beauty, and oxygen for years to come. By addressing pest problems early, you can mitigate damage so your landscape remains vibrant and lush.

At Proactive Pest, our process involves injecting tree trunks with an insecticide to kill pests that are attacking the tree. The injection site is then sealed which protects the tree from other pathogens that may enter. This method is effective against common pest species in Maine, such as the brown tail moth, emerald ash borer, and beech wilt. After the treatment, we offer a deep-root fertilizing service to help the tree recover.  

Integrated Pest Management

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to pest control that combines multiple strategies to address issues effectively and responsibly. Unlike conventional methods that often rely heavily on chemical treatments, IPM focuses on long-term solutions by addressing the root causes of pest problems. It blends techniques like habitat modification, biological controls, physical barriers, and targeted chemical use when necessary. The goal is to minimize the impact on the environment while safeguarding the health of both humans and beneficial organisms.

Additionally, IPM provides cost-effective and long-lasting solutions in helping to prevent recurring infestations and reduce the need for frequent interventions. With its focus on prevention, education, and sustainable practices, IPM offers a balanced approach you’re your home, garden, or commercial property.
