Integrated Pest
Management
Science-based pest control strategies that protect your trees while minimizing environmental impact.
Protecting the Ecosystem
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a sustainable, science-based approach to managing insects and diseases. Instead of relying on blanket pesticide applications, IPM focuses on long-term prevention through monitoring, cultural practices, and targeted treatments.
Our Certified Arborists and Licensed Pest Control Operators (PCO) identify the specific pest, evaluate the damage threshold, and select the least toxic, most effective control method. This ensures we protect your valuable trees while preserving beneficial insects like ladybugs, lacewings, and pollinators.
From managing invasive borers to controlling scale and aphids, our IPM programs are tailored to the unique microclimates of Southern California estates.
The IPM Process
- Accurate pest and disease identification
- Monitoring population levels and damage thresholds
- Cultural controls (improving soil, irrigation, and pruning)
- Biological controls (conserving natural predators)
- Targeted chemical controls only when necessary
- Ongoing evaluation and adjustment
