Bark Beetle Treatment

We care deeply about protecting our community from bark beetles. They have killed an estimated 129 million trees in California since 2010. Years of drought stress have caused beetle populations to skyrocket! When you see dead trees or obvious bark beetle damage in your trees, it might be too late to save the tree, but you can be proactive! The cost to remove a tree is roughly 10 times the average cost of treatment. 

Our plant health care team at Foothill Tree Service uses a state-of-the-art treatment protocol that specifically targets the beetle in one single trunk injection. This treatment has proven to protect your trees for two years after treatment. We inject the protocol directly into the vascular system of your tree. This application involves no sprays, no mess, and is environmentally friendly.

Maintaining the Health of Your Plants

Our region of California is blessed with a natural beauty that is hard to find elsewhere. Trees increase property values and add to the beauty of your home. Therefore, it is incredibly important to take care of your trees and help protect them against pests and diseases. Here at Foothill Tree Service, we offer many different plant health care plans designed to help protect your trees in the most effective way possible. 

We develop methods and products to improve soil health, retain water properly, and make trees stronger and more resilient to insect and disease problems. We use pesticide alternatives whenever we can and when we can’t, we find the safest possible products that target only harmful things and are safe around pets, kids and wildlife. We are here to make our region even more beautiful and truly care for the trees and plants.

Homeowners often have to deal with issues such as bark beetles, oak wilt, insects feeding on fruit and nut trees, and sudden oak death, as well as many other pests and diseases. In addition to the environmentally friendly products we use, we are constantly looking for better products and methods with the highest efficacy that also have the least impact on the environment, pets and family.
