Soil injections for Control of Harmful Insects in Commerce Twp. Landscapes

Insecticide soil injections are an effective method for controlling many harmful insect pests that attack trees and shrubs in Commerce Township landscapes.

This insect control technique involves injecting a systemic insecticide directly into the soil around the base of the tree or shrub to be protected, allowing the roots to absorb and distribute the product throughout the entire plant.

Benefits of Insecticide Soil Injection

Insecticide soil injection by Owen Tree Service offers several advantages for pest control in Commerce Township landscapes:

1. Long-lasting protection: The treatment can provide extended, sometimes season-long control of various insects, reducing the need for multiple tree or shrub spraying applications.

2. Environmentally friendly: By injecting the product into the soil, there is minimal drift or exposure to non-target organisms, making it safer for beneficial insects and pollinators.

3. Effective against multiple pests: Insecticide soil injections can control a wide range of insects, including emerald ash borer, Japanese beetles, and various scale insects.

4. Minimal disruption: The application process is quick and does not require spraying, making it ideal for residential areas and public spaces.

Application Timing and Considerations

For optimal results, insecticide soil injections should be performed in early spring or fall when soil moisture is adequate and trees are actively growing. It's important to consider the following factors:

• Soil type and drainage

• Tree species and size

• Target pest life cycle
