Insect & Disease Control

Curing Your Trees From Deadly Disease

Regardless of how healthy a tree in Kansas City is, it can be susceptible to certain diseases. The knowledgeable arborists at SAFETY Tree Service are able to provide you with professional tree disease control for your Kansas City home as part of our tree services. Common tree diseases in Kansas City fall into two main categories:

  • Infectious tree diseases can be transmitted from tree to tree via fungi, viruses, and bacteria; and
  • Non-infectious tree diseases cannot be transmitted between trees. Instead, they are caused by environmental stimuli such as poor soil composition, extreme weather, excess water, drought, or pollutants.

Tree diseases are very difficult for laymen to diagnose, mostly because they share very similar symptoms. How can you tell whether your tree’s browning leaves and failure to thrive are a result of a lack of nutrients or a bacterial infection? The answer is: call in a certified professional arborist for tree disease control in Kansas City! A tree expert at SAFETY Tree Service can examine and diagnose any tree disease you may be experiencing and treat it without further harming the tree.

Killing the Insects Who Damage Your Trees

The Kansas City metropolitan area is home to countless insect species that can cause damage to your beloved residential trees, from chewing on leaves and weakening branches to destroying flowers and contaminating fruit. Tree insect control in Kansas City is not uncommon, and if you suspect any unwanted pests in your trees, contact SAFETY! Insects you may encounter in or on your residential trees include:

  • Boring insects (weevils, bark beetles, etc.) bore hundreds of tiny holes in the bark and leave sawdust-like material behind.
  • Sucking insects (leafhoppers, aphids, etc.) suck the juice from leaves, fruit, and flowers, leaving behind discolored leaves and wilting branches.
  • Chewing insects (caterpillars, beetles, etc.) chomp away at leaves and other parts of trees.
  • Beneficial insects (bees, butterflies, etc.) contribute to a tree’s healthy ecosystem.

Some insect-related tree damage is obvious (holes in the trunk, brown leaves, dead branches, etc.); whereas some are subtle but still deadly. On the other hand, many insects are beneficial to residential trees by pollinating flowers or eating harmful aphids. How can you figure out which bugs are hurting your trees? And how can you kill them without harming bees and other beneficial insects? The answer is simple: tree insect control in Kansas City! Using the latest, most eco-friendly insecticides, one of our experts can eliminate harmful insects without negative side effects.

What People Are Saying

  • Safety Tree Service did a great job trimming several elm and ash trees for me, as well as a few pin oaks. The pin oaks had various dead limbs that needed to be removed and other limbs that needed to be thinned. Ty did an excellent job removing the dead wood and trimming the trees, which helped reduce risk of damage from limbs falling and greatly improved the health and overall appearance of the trees. With the recent bad weather I’m glad I hired Ty as I’m confident one of the limbs would have come down on a power line. I received bids from multiple tree trimmers and Ty’s bid was very competitive and he was able to provide proof of insurance. Some of the other bidders offered lower prices but were not insured! I do recommend Ty to others as he did a great job for me.

  • We needed a to have a couple of large trees removed from our yard. Safety Tree Service did a great job. They raked and collected everything and left us with a totally clean backyard. If we ever need any tree services in the future I will definitely contact you again.

    - Michael W( Kansas City, Missouri Tree Removal )

  • Safety Tree Service is always on time. They do what they say they are going to do. There is no smoke and mirrors with Safety Tree Service. I only recommend his company to all of my clients because I know he will treat them with respect and care.

    - Patrick F.( Kansas City, Missouri Tree Removal and Trimming, February 2017 )

  • We use Ty and his staff at Safety Tree exclusively for all of our tree work referrals. Our company conducts grounds maintenance on a wide variety of residential and commercial properties. We have referred our customers to Ty because they continually tell me how exceptional their overall experience was with Safety Tree. I have heard everything from “experts”, to “very professional”, to “very skilled”, to “clean” and “fair” used to describe their encounters. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Safety Tree to any private or public entity or for any project regardless of scope or size.
