Do your research before hiring a “Green” pest control company

The truth is there is no simple list of “green” products. While it might seem remarkable any marketer can call their product “green”. Be careful when you hire a pest control or lawn service!! Ask questions. Be sure you are getting what you are paying for.

ISA Recommends Yearly Tree Inspections

A sound tree becomes potentially dangerous when the trees woody structure is weakened by one or more defects including decayed wood, cracks, weak branch unions, cankers, poor tree architecture and dead tree tops and branches.

Healthy well maintained trees growing on suitable sites will be able to lessen the extent of decay and other defects. Trees that are stressed have reduced energy reserves and therefore have less ability to deal with wounds and ensuing decay.

Tree failure is a major cause of residential property damage. Home owners worried about their large trees should consult with a certified arborist. In fact the International Society of Arboriculture recommends you have large trees inspected by a certified arborist at least once per year in any case.
