Tree Disease Management
How to Spot Tree Pest Problems Early
Recognising early signs of tree pest infestations and diseases is essential for effective tree pest and disease control. Discoloured or wilted leaves, holes in the bark, and unusual growths are often indicators that pests are harming your trees. Certain pests leave specific marks; for example, citrus gall wasps create swollen bumps on branches, while termites can hollow out the wood, leading to structural weakness. Regular inspections by a professional can help detect these issues early, preventing further damage and preserving the health of your trees. At TLC Trees, our experienced arborists know exactly what to look for and can provide tailored solutions for your trees.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you save a sick tree?
Yes, in many cases, a sick tree can be saved with the right care and treatment. Our professional arborists can diagnose the underlying issues and recommend targeted solutions, such as fertilisation, pruning, or pest control, to restore the tree’s health. Tree pest control treatments are particularly effective for tackling infestations that may be affecting the tree. At TLC Trees, we’re committed to saving Melbourne’s trees with eco-friendly and effective treatments that boost tree resilience and vitality.
How can I identify the specific pest or disease affecting my tree?
Identifying the exact pest or disease requires a trained eye and often a close inspection of symptoms, such as unusual leaf spots, discolouration, wilting, or visible insects. Our expert team conducts thorough assessments and, if necessary, collects samples for detailed analysis. As a leading tree pest control company in Melbourne, TLC Trees is equipped to accurately diagnose and treat a variety of pests and diseases, from citrus gall wasps to elm beetles.
How often should trees be inspected for pests and diseases?
We recommend inspecting your trees at least once a year for pests and diseases, though twice-yearly inspections are ideal for high-risk areas or valuable trees. Regular inspections allow for early detection, ensuring any issues are addressed promptly before they escalate. TLC Trees provides comprehensive tree pest and disease control services and ongoing monitoring to keep your trees healthy and pest-free throughout Melbourne’s changing seasons.
Can tree pest control treatments help with pest prevention?
Absolutely. Tree pest control treatments not only address current infestations but also play a key role in preventing future issues. Proactive treatments, such as systemic insecticides or horticultural oils, create a protective barrier that discourages pest invasions. With TLC Trees’ preventive pest management strategies, Melbourne homeowners can enjoy healthier, more resilient trees year-round.
Does DIY pest control work?
While DIY pest control may offer short-term relief for minor infestations, serious pest issues or larger trees require professional expertise. Tree pest control involves specialised knowledge, equipment, and treatments that are best handled by certified arborists to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the solution. At TLC Trees, our experts use targeted, eco-friendly methods that are both safe for your trees and effective against stubborn pests. Trusting a professional team not only protects your trees but also prevents potential harm to the surrounding landscape. Leave it to the experts at TLC Trees to safeguard the health and beauty of your trees with precision and care.
