Pests

Isn't it great to live in an area with an extensive growing season? Unfortunately, many pests enjoy our climate as well. When we think about plant pests we usually think bugs! Did you know that most insects are beneficial to plants and people? In fact, only a handful of the millions of insects are PESTS. That handful can still be a problem.

Sometimes the problem isn't bugs. Bacteria and fungi also thrive in our wonderful weather. Again, most are beneficial, but a few can cause disease. Good cultural practices are the best defense, but there are suppressive and curative controls.

Even fertilizer deficiencies can cause plant "disease". At ACE, we can help you diagnose the plant, identify the problem and get you the best treatment for your plants.

Simply bring in a sample in a sealed sandwich bag. If you see any insects, try to catch them too!
