Dormant Oil Spray
Dormant Oil Spray
Although most insects are eliminated by the cold weather through the winter, there are some insects, eggs, and diseases that are capable of over-wintering.
We have the solution for these malignant creatures: Dormant Oil Spray. Using environmentally safe horticultural oil, we spray your trees and perennials. This oil covers the insect or organism with an oil film, cutting off the oxygen supply. The oil is mixed with an emulsifying agent, creating a solution diluted to the correct intensity. All deciduous plant material can benefit from Dormant Spraying. Some plants are natural hosts to scale insects and more susceptible to over-wintering parasites, such as Maple, Euonymus, Burning Bush, Dogwood, Redbud, Magnolia, Pyracantha, Cotoneaster, Crabapples, Birch, Hawthorn, Oak, some Viburnum, and all fruit trees. We always plan to spray these varieties. This mixture is the element that will rid your landscape of disease causing organisms, and will enhance the quality of your landscape for the entire year.
This one spray will control more insects and problems than any other spraying will, at any other time throughout the year. This spraying will give you more per spray dollar than any other spray maintenance later on.
Frequently in the spring we have many warm rainy spells, making it difficult to get the spraying done. Our operation depends entirely on the weather. This is a preventative measure, and due to the nature of the spring climate, we cannot give a specific date of service. For this reason we must know ahead of time if you would like our service.
