Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 11, 2015

Even in the dead of winter, Philadelphia homeowners need to be alert for signs of damage on evergreens by harmful insects like Bagworms, Adelgid, Lacebugs and Borers. Giroud Tree and Lawn explains the warning signs of pest damage and tree service actions Philadelphia homeowners can take to stop pests from destroying valuable trees and shrubs.

Its easy to forget about your trees and shrubs when bitter winter weather keeps us inside, says Lou Giroud, President, Giroud Tree and Lawn and ISA Certified Arborist. Homeowners should bundle up and just stroll the yard to check how the evergreens are looking. The key is to find problems now before further damage is done.

Here are the steps homeowners should take: 1. Check valuable evergreens including: Eastern Hemlock, Arborvitae, Spruce, Pine, Juniper, Azalea and Pieris Japonica. 2. Look for: Discolored leaves/needles, cone-like bags, egg masses or unusual growths on twigs, browning or poor overall color. These are just a few of the warning signs that pests have invaded an evergreen tree or shrub 3. If a problem is discovered, contact a professional tree service company to inspect the tree or shrub.

Once an ISA Certified Arborist confirms the specific pest, treatment should be scheduled at the time of year when the pest is most vulnerable, says Lou Giroud. By catching and treating pest problems early, trees and shrubs have the best chance for long term survival.
