Oakworm Season is Here!!

Now is the time to arrange an appointment with Alta Sierra Pest Control to spray your oak trees!

There are many insects that attack California Oak Trees and the California oakmoth (oakworm) is the most important. Infestations of oakworms can cause severe damage. The oakworm feeds mainly on foliage, which strips the leaves and causes them to drop.

In addition to an unsightly appearance, falling oakworms and excrement often contaminate homes, patios, pools and hot tubs beneath infested trees. Trees are seldom killed, but the landscape and shade producing value of the trees are markedly reduced. Nearly all species of Western Oaks are subject to attack by these pests.

Although your regular on-going pest control service is designed to prevent insects from entering your home, by taking care of these problems in your oak trees, you will have much less general pest control problems in your yard as well.
