Pecan Scab Disease

Black spots on the leaves and pecans. This is a fungus that will devastate a pecan harvest. Best control is spraying the complete tree several times during the growing season.

Pecan Weevils
Pecan Weevils

Females drill a hole in the soft growing pecan to lay her eggs. The larva grows and chews a hole through the hard pecan shell. Best control is spraying every week from August 15th to September 15th for three years.

Tent Caterpillars

They show up on the tree late summer. However you have to control them in the spring, March and April. Does not hurt the pecan harvest but makes the tree look unhealthy.

Twig Girdlers
Twig Girdlers

Girdles eat twigs and small branches in September.

Fire Ants

Ants can ruin a wonderful picnic or barbeque. Stop them from ruining your fun by ruining theirs!

Spot spraying for fire ants is ineffective because the queen is several feet in the ground and will move to a different location in the yard. We spray a protective shield from the foundation of your home to the borders of your yard. The fire ant hill can be seen all during the year but most will come out in early spring and late summer. If you touch the fire ant hill they will swarm out to sting or bite you to protect their colonies. The sting or bite will have a stinging, burning sensation and a bump will appear and remain for several days. The affected area will continue to itch when the stinging, burning stops.
