Pest & Disease Management

Green Drop Inc. arborists and certified pesticide applicators are knowledgeable in a range of pest and disease management options. Our guiding principle to controlling insect pests, invasive plant species and tree diseases is an innovative strategy known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which integrates cultural (growing) practices, monitoring, threshold and life cycle analysis, and chemical application strategies to effectively manage urban forest pest populations in an ecologically-sound manner. While the spread of some invasive and destructive pest species in unavoidable, Green Drop Inc. experience enables clients to prepare for and manage pest populations on their own terms.
