Here are Giroud's Top 5 Pests for Summer

Ticks: Protect your family and pets from Lyme Disease. Giroud can help with pruning, perimeter clean-up and spray treatments now and again in the Fall.

Aphids: (pictured) Attack a variety of trees including Hemlocks, Spruce and Tulip Poplars. A professional diagnosis is critical before treating the tree.

Scale: Is a real heavyweight for damage. With 12 varieties of Scale, we must first identify the type of Scale to determine the best time for treatment.

Japanese Beetles: Swarms start in late June. If you are concerned about beetles, get on our schedule now. That way, we’ll be able to treat your property at the first sign of an outbreak.

Bagworms: Often mistaken for harmless cones, bagworms are irregular, loosely woven bags that harbor destructive pests. June is the best time for treatment.
