TREE PEST MANAGEMENT SERVICES IN HOUSTON
When it comes to tree pest control, Trees Over Houston isn’t just another tree company — we’re local specialists who understand the conditions trees face in this part of Texas. We provide customized pest management services that protect your trees from infestation and help them stay strong and healthy through all seasons. Whether it's bugs chewing on your magnolia or sap-sucking insects weakening your oaks, we’ve got the tools and know-how to fix it.
Why Tree Pest Control Matters
Tree pests are more than a seasonal annoyance — they’re a long-term threat. Left unchecked, they can strip away leaves, bore into trunks, and even kill an otherwise healthy tree. In Houston’s hot, damp climate, pests like aphids, borers, spider mites, and scale insects are more than happy to make themselves at home — especially if no one's watching.
That’s where we come in. Our job is to spot the problems early and keep them from getting worse. Whether your tree is already struggling or just needs some preventative care, we can help.
Prevention
Certain pests — like emerald ash borers and aphids — go right for the good stuff: the inner layers of your trees where all the vital systems are. Once they get in there, it doesn’t take long for your tree to start showing signs of stress.
In Houston, where the climate gives bugs extra time to thrive, early intervention is everything. If we catch it fast, we can stop the spread and avoid a situation where you’re dealing with a dying tree or dangerous falling limbs.
Promoting Tree Health
When a tree’s being eaten from the inside out, it can’t focus on staying healthy. It might drop leaves early, stop growing, or get brittle. Once we clear out the insects, the tree finally gets a chance to bounce back.
Our pest treatments are focused not just on stopping bugs, but on giving your trees the breathing room they need to heal, rebuild, and keep thriving through Houston’s long growing season.
Encouraging growth
Pests don’t just nibble — they drain the tree of sap, nutrients, and energy. Over time, you’ll notice less new growth, fewer leaves, and an overall dullness in the canopy.
With the right treatment, your trees can start pulling nutrients properly again. We treat the core issue, not just the surface damage. That means your tree can put its energy back into growing instead of just surviving.
Protecting Your Property
Infested trees are more than a hazard to themselves. Over time, a weak branch or rotted trunk can snap — especially during one of Houston’s heavy summer storms. That’s when you’re looking at broken fences, damaged cars, or worse.
We’re not just in the business of saving trees — we’re here to protect the safety and structure of your whole property. When pests take hold, we act fast to stop them and protect everything around them too.
About Our Tree Pest Control Process
At Trees Over Houston, we take every pest problem seriously — no matter the size of the tree or the size of the bugs. Our process is simple, thorough, and built to get real results.
-
Thorough Inspection: It starts with a proper inspection. Our certified arborists don’t just glance at the leaves and call it a day. We go tree to tree, checking bark, leaves, roots, and even the surrounding plants for signs of pest activity. Sometimes it’s visible — chewed leaves, sticky sap, or insect trails. Other times it’s more subtle: holes in the bark, early yellowing, or signs that a pest laid eggs nearby. We catch those signs early so we can stop things before they get out of hand.
-
Custom Treatment Plan: Next, we build a treatment plan based on what we’ve seen. No one-size-fits-all solutions here. What works on one oak in The Heights might not work on a pecan in Katy. We factor in the tree species, type of pest, time of year, and even the layout of your yard.
