Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Control
What is Hemlock Woolly Adelgid?
The Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (Adelges tsugae) is an invasive insect native to East Asia that targets Hemlock trees (Tsuga species). These tiny, aphid-like insects feed on the sap of Hemlock trees, causing stress, decline, and ultimately, death if left unchecked. Hemlock Woolly Adelgid infestations can occur year-round, with peak activity typically observed in the spring and fall.
Our Approach
At Get-R-Cut, we employ a comprehensive approach to Hemlock Woolly Adelgid control, focusing on early detection, targeted treatments, and ongoing monitoring to protect the health of your Hemlock trees.
Early Detection
Monitoring: Our team conducts regular inspections to detect signs of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid activity, including the presence of white, woolly masses on Hemlock branches. Early detection allows us to intervene promptly and implement effective control measures before infestations escalate.
Targeted Treatments
Don’t let Rhizosphaera Needle Cast compromise the beauty and health of your Blue Spruce trees.
Horticultural Oils
We may apply horticultural oils to suffocate and disrupt the life cycle of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid populations, reducing their numbers and preventing further damage to Hemlock trees.
Systemic Insecticides
We utilize systemic insecticides to combat Hemlock Woolly Adelgid infestations, applying treatments directly to the tree’s vascular system for optimal absorption and long-lasting protection.
Soil Drench
Soil drenching with insecticidal soap is an effective method to target Hemlock Woolly Adelgid nymphs feeding on Hemlock roots. The soap solution disrupts their feeding habits and prevents further damage to the tree.
