Tree & Shrub Insect Control

Protect Your Trees & Shrubs from Destructive Insects

Expert insect control treatments for Woodbury, Rosemount & Stillwater, MN, and Hudson, WI properties

Japanese beetles devouring your prized oak tree. Emerald ash borers threatening your mature ash trees. These destructive insects can cause irreversible damage to your landscape investment in a matter of weeks. At LNG Landscapes, we provide tree and shrub insect control treatments that help protect your outdoor spaces from pest pressure.

Our team understands the specific insect pressures that affect trees and shrubs throughout the Twin Cities region. From spring through fall, we deliver targeted treatments that protect your valuable landscape plants year after year.

Common Tree & Shrub Pests We Control

The Minnesota and Wisconsin climate creates ideal conditions for several destructive tree and shrub insects. Our treatments target the most problematic pests that threaten local landscapes:

• Japanese Beetles – These metallic green beetles skeletonize leaves and can defoliate entire trees during their peak feeding period
• Oak Wilt – Though technically a disease, this fungal pathogen spreads through insect vectors and can kill oak trees within a single growing season
• Emerald Ash Borer – This invasive species has destroyed millions of ash trees across the Midwest and requires immediate intervention

Each of these pests requires specific treatment timing and application methods. Our technicians understand when and how to apply treatments for maximum effectiveness against each species.

Our Professional Treatment Approach

Effective insect control requires more than just spraying when you notice damage. Our systematic approach addresses both active infestations and helps prevent future problems:

Preventative Treatments: Applied during key life cycle stages, these treatments create a protective barrier that deters insects from establishing on your trees and shrubs. Timing is critical – emerald ash borer treatments must be applied before adult emergence, while Japanese beetle control works best before peak feeding begins.

Curative Applications: When insects have already established, we deploy targeted treatments to eliminate existing populations and prevent further damage. These intensive applications require precise identification of the pest species and understanding of their feeding patterns.

Our treatments integrate naturally with comprehensive tree and shrub fertilization programs. Well-nourished plants show greater resistance to insect damage and recover more quickly from pest pressure.

Why Professional Treatment Makes the Difference

DIY insect control products rarely provide the coverage and persistence needed for effective tree and shrub protection. Our professional-grade treatments offer several advantages:

We understand application timing – treating too early wastes product effectiveness, while treating too late allows damage to occur.

Equipment matters too. Our spray systems deliver uniform coverage to tree canopies up to 20 feet high, reaching areas that handheld sprayers cannot access. This complete coverage helps prevent insects from finding untreated refuge areas.

Most importantly, we monitor treatment effectiveness through follow-up inspections. If pest pressure continues after initial treatment, we adjust our approach rather than leaving you to deal with ongoing problems.

Complete Tree & Shrub Health Programs

Insect control works most effectively as part of a comprehensive plant health strategy. Our tree and shrub care programs combine insect control with disease control treatments and nutritional support.

This integrated approach strengthens your plants’ natural defenses while providing targeted protection against specific threats. Healthy, well-fertilized trees and shrubs resist insect damage better and recover more quickly when pest pressure does occur.

We also coordinate insect control timing with pruning and trimming services. Removing damaged or stressed branches helps improve treatment penetration to remaining healthy growth.

Protect Your Landscape Investment

Mature trees and established shrub plantings represent significant value in your landscape. A single large oak or maple tree can be worth thousands of dollars, while replacing mature shrub borders costs far more than preventative treatment programs.
