Controlling Tree Insects in Kansas City

Insects can be everywhere in the summer-even in our trees! It seems that they do not leave us alone. Well, unfortunately, the trees here in the Kansas City metro agree. Controlling tree insects is an ever-present issue we deal with and see time and time again every Summer.

From plant sucking to leaf eaters, there is a vast array of insects that are indigenous to the Midwest that attack or feed on trees. We see all types of insects here. From Japanese Beetles, Grasshoppers, and Aphids the list goes on. Not only is there a list of all the different insects in our area, there are a lot of different symptoms and aesthetic impacts.

With insects like beetles and Bagworms, which our area sees plenty of, you often see leaves that are eaten and that have many small holes. The insects will literally feast your tree to death if left to it. Other insects like Aphids and Mites can cause problems like stem and leaf wilt or leaf discoloration.

For most of us, we want to enjoy our trees and the shade and aesthetics are most of that enjoyment. It isn’t so pleasant if your once natural source of shade and heat relief is now not so shady. If you are seeing signs of insects it is time to let a trusted tree professional, like a Cartwright Tree Care crew member, come to inspect the tree for insects.

Our certified arborists and tree care professionals are trained in identifying the species of insect that is affecting your tree and will help to create a plan of action.
