Dallas Pest & Disease Management

Marlin Landscape Brings High-Quality Services to Dallas Residents

Trees endure continuous stress from various environmental elements, especially with rising pollution and other environmental issues. Insects may attack them, consuming their leaves or burrowing into their branches and trunks. Additionally, trees are susceptible to infections caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Such stressors can result in a decline in more than just their appearance. Their overall health and structural integrity may also be compromised.

Marlin Landscape offers Dallas homeowners pest and disease treatments that can address a variety of pathogens and insects affecting their trees. Established in 2002, our company has built a reputation for top-quality, reliable landscaping services; our team of experienced arborists is no exception.

Spotting the Signs of Disease in Your Trees

Identifying disease in trees early on is crucial for effective management and recovery. Distinct signs include unusual leaf discoloration or wilting, dead branches, and the appearance of fungal growths or cankers on the bark. Additionally, an abundance of insects around the tree might indicate a problem.

If you notice any of these symptoms, immediate action is advised to prevent further damage and ensure the longevity of your trees.

Some common diseases affecting trees in North Texas include: 

  • Oak wilt
  • Anthracnose
  • Phytophthora
  • Black spot
  • Scab
  • Fire blight
  • Armillaria
  • Ganoderma

Types of Pests that Can Harm Your Trees

Just as diseases leave their mark, pests also showcase distinctive signs when impacting trees. You might observe holes or tunnels in the bark, indicating the presence of boring insects like beetles or larvae. Leaves may exhibit chew marks or completely missing sections, a sign of caterpillars, beetles, or leaf-mining pests.

Additionally, sticky substances or sooty mold on leaves can suggest an infestation of aphids, scales, or other sap-sucking insects. Early detection of these signs is key to preventing severe damage and maintaining the health of your trees.

Common insects, parasites, and other pests that can significantly impact the health of your trees include:

  • Scales
  • Aphids
  • Spider mites
  • Wood boring beetles
  • Eastern tent caterpillars
  • Webworms
  • Bagworms
  • Lacebugs

Pests are not the only thing you have to worry about. Mistletoe is particularly damaging to trees and is quite common in the Dallas area. It is a parasitic plant that attaches itself to branches, sapping vital nutrients and water from the tree. Over time, this can weaken tree structures, potentially killing branches or entire trees if left unchecked.

Ways We Can Help Bring Your Trees Back to Life

While existing insect damage cannot be undone, and not all diseases can be eliminated, their spread and worsening symptoms can often be deterred if diagnosed and treated early enough. Marlin Landscape’s Certified Arborists and Plant Health Care Technicians work closely together to analyze your tree’s symptoms and recommend an appropriate treatment plan. We can apply systemic fungicides and insecticides, such as trunk injections, soil drenches, and coversprays, depending on the pest/disease issue and product selected.
