Tree Disease and Insect Control

Curing Your Trees of Deadly Disease

Regardless of how healthy your trees are, they can be susceptible to certain diseases. Common diseases in local trees include:

• Infectious tree diseases - These can be transmitted from tree to tree via fungi, viruses and bacteria.
• Non-infectious tree diseases - These cannot be transmitted between trees and are instead caused by environmental stimuli such as poor soil composition, extreme weather, excess water, drought or pollutants.

Tree diseases are very difficult for the average person to diagnose, mostly because they share very similar symptoms. Call in a certified professional arborist from Wings Tree Care Co to correctly diagnose the health of your tree. We can examine and diagnosis any tree disease you may be experiencing and treat it without further harm to the tree.

Killing Off Tree-Damaging Insects

Illinois' Stateline area is home to countless species of insects that can damage your beloved trees. This can range from chewing on leaves and weakening branches to destroying flowers and contaminating fruit. Common types of insects you may encounter in your trees include:

• Boring insects (weevils, bark beetles, etc.) - These bugs can bore hundreds of tiny holes in bark and leave sawdust-like material behind.
• Sucking insects (leafhoppers, aphids, etc.) - These pests suck juice from leaves, fruit and flowers, leaving behind discolored leaves and wilting branches.
• Chewing insects (caterpillars, beetles, etc.) - These types of bugs chomp away at leaves and other parts of trees.
• Beneficial insects (bees, butterflies, etc.) - These are the species that contribute to a tree’s healthy ecosystem.

Some insect-related tree damage is obvious (holes in the trunk, brown leaves, dead branches, etc.). Some is subtle but still deadly. However, many insects are beneficial to residential trees by pollinating flowers or eating harmful aphids.
