We are ISA Certified Arborist and work with an Alberta Certified pesticide applicator specialized in tree care. Your trees will be treated with trunk injection of systemic insecticide. Trunk injection is a modern technology which is an effective and environmentally friendly way of treating trees for pests. Systemic insecticide remains in the tree system for a longer time and achieves long lasting control. We do NOT spray toxic chemicals, so you can have your peace of mind that your animals, neighbours and yourself, are safe.
