Our Specialized Services for Pest-Infested Trees

At Proactive Pest, we keep things focused. We don't try to be a jack-of-all-trades tree company. Instead, we specialize in two powerful services designed to protect trees from invasive pests and help them recover, keeping trees healthy from the inside out. We tackle the hidden threats that can cause serious damage before major problems become obvious.

Here’s what our targeted tree care looks like:

Tree trunk injections: Are pests like Brown-tail Moths or Emerald Ash Borers attacking trees on a property? Our trunk injection service is like targeted medicine for trees. Using the advanced QUIK-jet AIR system, we deliver insecticide directly into the tree's vascular system. The best part? We use a special plug to seal the injection site immediately, protecting the tree from other diseases or pests trying to sneak in – a big advantage over methods that leave an open hole.
Root fertilizing: Think of this as a power boost for trees. Trees can benefit from extra nutrients, especially after battling pests or dealing with tough conditions. Our deep root fertilizing service delivers high-quality fertilizer directly to the root zone, encouraging stronger roots, faster recovery, and overall better health to help trees stand tall.

Choosing these targeted methods means we're getting the solution right where it's needed, minimizing impact on the surrounding environment compared to broad spraying. And by pairing pest treatment with root fertilization, we're not just solving the immediate problem – we're helping trees build the strength needed to better withstand future threats. It’s our proactive approach focused on long-term tree vitality for homes and businesses.

Spotting Tree Stress

Trees can’t exactly wave a flag when they're in trouble, but they definitely show signs when stressed or under attack. Pests like the Emerald Ash Borer or Brown-tail Moth, active here in Maine, often cause significant internal damage before the outward symptoms become severe. Recognizing the early warnings is key to timely intervention, which significantly increases the odds of saving a suffering tree and ensuring its recovery.

Keep an eye out for these arboreal SOS signals:

Unwelcome guests: Obvious Brown-tail Moth webs clustered on branch tips, distinctive D-shaped exit holes in ash tree bark, or seeing the pests themselves are clear indicators that action is needed.
Leaf trouble: If you notice foliage changing color unusually early, developing dark spots or blisters (like with Beech Leaf Disease), appearing wilted despite rain, or dropping prematurely, this can often indicate pest activity or nutrient deficiencies.
Canopy thinning: Branches losing leaves or dying back, especially noticeable in the upper parts of the tree, or the overall density of foliage looking much sparser than previous years, warrants a closer look.
Slowed vitality: A tree simply not growing as robustly as it used to, exhibiting dull coloration, or generally seeming 'unwell' compared to past health, can signal hidden stress from pests or inadequate nutrition.

Spotting one or more of these signs doesn't automatically mean the tree is lost. At Proactive Pest, we have specific experience interpreting these symptoms in trees around the area. Our expertise lies in diagnosing problems that can be effectively addressed with our specialized trunk injections or root fertilization, providing focused solutions precisely where they're needed for recovery.
