Big trees and shrubs can transform a generic living space into a home. Their natural beauty adds to the curb appeal to your property and provides shade to keep homes cooler in warmer months. Native trees and shrubs also improve the air quality by producing oxygen. Apart from adequate sunlight, water, and good quality soil, most trees require fertilizers to thrive.
The winter moths are invasive pests that can strip trees of their leaves at an alarming rate. The larvae (or caterpillars) of these pests feed on the leaves and buds of apple, crabapple trees, maple, white elm, blueberry, oak, and ash. If untreated, the tree can become completely defoliated, ultimately leading to its death. It can cause homeowners and property managers a lot of stress.
Ticks are tiny parasitic organisms that attach themselves to mammals, birds, reptiles, and humans. They have hook-like barbs on their mouth with which they feed on the blood of their hosts. They are also the carriers of several serious diseases, which they may transmit to the people they bite. They thrive in dark and moist areas. The best way to get rid of them is to destroy their preferred habitats.
