Expert Palm Tree Care

Palm trees are integral to many of our Florida landscapes. While they’re hearty plants often, they can sometimes require specialized care and maintenance in certain cases. In the event that your palm tree becomes diseased, infested with pests, or begins to encroach in an area where it shouldn’t, make sure you work with an experienced palm tree care company like Florida Pest Control.

Florida Palm Tree Treatment Types

We offer a variety of treatments designed to achieve optimal health for your palm tree. Before any treatment begins, one of our experts will perform a thorough assessment and create a custom treatment plan for your trees.

• Insecticide
• Fungicide
• Fertilizer and tree nutrition
• Tree injections
• Seasonal treatments

How Can You Tell If Your Palm Needs Tree Care?

• Discoloration of fronds: A little bit of yellow is fine in sun-exposed areas, but your palm fronds should generally be a vibrant green.
• Dead, drooping, or twisting fronds: Additionally, there shouldn’t be sagging or twisting. A healthy tree should be able to hold its fronds upright.
• Trunk or root problems: Any type of softness or oozing may indicate the presence of pests or disease.
• Presence of pests: Pests can damage palm trees in a variety of ways.

Tree and Shrub Fertilization

Like any living organism, proper nutrition is crucial to shrubs and trees of all types. With proper nutrients, shrubs and trees can fulfill their growth potential and remain resilient against possible pests or diseases. Florida Pest Control‘s professional shrub and tree fertilization services provide this nutrition. With our premium-grade, specially formulated fertilizer treatment plans, you just have to sit back and enjoy your vibrant Florida landscape.

Targeted Pest Control for Shrubs

For shrubs, we offer our famous Three Season Premium Shrub program, which includes precision services performed during the spring, summer, and fall — when your shrubs need them the most.

Oil Applications for Pest Control

Horticultural oil has been used for centuries to control certain shrub pests, such as aphids, mites, and scales. It not only controls pests but enhances the healthy appearance of the plants it is applied to. This service may be performed as needed or as part of our scheduled program. The seasonal oil program consists of two applications in the spring and two in the fall.

Moss Control for Trees

Live moss acts like a sponge absorbing moisture, which increases its weight. If a branch becomes too weighed down by moss, it can easily break off. Not only could the weight of moss damage a tree, but it also physically blocks out sunlight that trees need to grow. In addition, pests such as cockroaches and rodents may use moss as a harborage area. When you work with Florida Pest, any moss will be dead between 8 to 12 weeks after treatment. It will gradually disintegrate and disappear over the course of 12 months.
