Tree Pest Control in Calgary: Protecting the Health of Your Trees


Professional Tree Pest Treatments
Our tree pest removal services are tailored to your property’s needs. Calgary’s most common tree pests include aphids, mites, mud worms, caterpillars, leaf rollers, leafhoppers, leaf miners, and scale insects, all capable of causing significant harm if left untreated.
We offer two proven treatment options:

  1. Environmentally Safe Sprays
    Our team applies targeted, eco-friendly sprays designed to eliminate tree pests while minimizing environmental impact. The type of spray and timing depend on the pest species and its stage in the life cycle — ensuring maximum effectiveness without harming your trees.

  2. Precision Tree Injections
    This treatment injects a precise mixture of pesticide directly into the tree, delivering fast results with zero impact on the surrounding environment. It’s an ideal solution for persistent or large-scale infestations, providing deep protection where pests live and feed.
     

Calgary’s Tree Pest Control Specialists
Our licensed Calgary exterminators will inspect your trees, identify the specific pest species, and create a customized plan for complete eradication. Fruit trees, in particular, are prone to disease and insect infestation, which is why early detection and treatment are critical.
If you notice signs of tree stress, such as leaf discoloration, premature leaf drop, or sticky residue on branches, your trees may already be infested. Contact Martin’s Pest Control for a full inspection and treatment plan before the problem spreads.

SPOTLIGHT ON COMMON TREE PESTS

Scale Insects
Scale insects are tiny, immobile pests that cling to trees and feed by sucking sap, slowly draining the plant’s vitality. Covered in a hard protective shell, they can be difficult to detect until significant damage occurs.
Elm Scale is especially common across Alberta. Early signs include leaf discoloration, dieback of branches, and a sticky honeydew residue that promotes fungus growth. Regular inspections and treatment are essential to prevent long-term damage.

Aphids
Small, pear-shaped, and fast-reproducing, aphids can appear green, brown, black, grey, or pink. They feed on plant sap, excreting honeydew, a sticky substance that encourages black sooty mold growth on leaves and surfaces below.
Aphid infestations weaken trees and can kill flowers and vegetables if untreated. While honeydew can be washed off, the loss of sap severely stresses the plant, leading to stunted growth or death.

Spider Mites
Spider mites are tiny relatives of spiders and ticks, often found on the undersides of leaves. They spin fine webbing and feed on plant tissue, causing leaves to appear speckled, yellowed, or dusty.
Females can lay up to 20 eggs per day and live up to four weeks, allowing infestations to spread quickly through trees, gardens, and greenhouses. Professional treatment is key to breaking their rapid reproductive cycle.
