Fruit Worm

Worms love fruit; if you don’t protect your trees, worms will inevitably be inside of the fruit that your trees have bore. There are many different types of fruit worms: apple maggot, cherry fruit worm, codling moth. Each type of fruit tree requires a specific spraying schedule.

Cherry Bark Tortrix

The cherry bark moth starts out as a caterpillar and turns into a brightly-colored moth. In the larvae stage, this insect builds tunnels in the bark and creates external reddish-orange cocoons. It damages tree bark by feeding off of nutrients that would be going to the tree and by introducing other insects that feed off of the cherry bark tortrix. Tortrix moths, also known as leafrollers can cause a lot of damage to fruit trees, especially cherry and apple trees.​

Root Weevil

Root weevils are troublesome for many different shrubs, especially broadleaf evergreens, including house plants, strawberry plants, rhododendrons and azaleas. Root weevils are most destructive in their larval stage because they feed on roots. However, adult root weevils can also be destructive by feeding off of the plant’s leaves.

Lace Bug

There are more than 160 identified types of lace bugs in North America. Although Azalea lace bugs weren’t a large problem until 2012, they’re now widespread. They feed off of the foliage of shrubs and trees, by sucking the sap out of them. They leave trees and shrubs looking discolored.

Tent Caterpillars

Six out of twenty-six species of tent caterpillars affect North American trees. Tent caterpillar are the larvae of moths and they cause deforestation in multiple types of trees. The larvae of moths and butterflies that eat your plants are often referred to as pest caterpillars. There are many species of caterpillars and they are extremely destructive.

Leaf Miners

These tiny insects burrow into the fleshy parts of leaves. Leaf miners leave behind scribbly patterns on leaves as a result of their tunneling. A large-scale infestation can ruin the appearance of trees and make them sick.
