Insect Control, River City Tree Service St Louis Missouri

insect control

Insect control is a major problem in some areas. Although most insects are beneficial, some inflict damage or even kill trees.

Experience and training are key to identifying specific harmful insects. Choose a tree service with a certified arborist on staff to receive appropriate treatment.

There are 3 basic ways insects harm trees:

  • CHEWING insects eat twigs, buds, flowers or leaves.
  • SUCKING insects feed on branches, leaves, flowers or fruit.
  • BORING insects tunnel beneath the bark to lay eggs or feed.

Insects are more prevalent in diseased trees. They can also carry diseases from tree to tree. If you think you have an insect problem, a certified arborist can help identify pests and prescribe treatment.

As usual, prevention is the best medicine. A regular maintenance program, including disease and insect control, will keep trees healthy.

The workers were prompt and did a great job cutting two trees down and stump grinding. We were very satisfied with their work. Also impressed with their cleanup. We thought their quote was a fair price and we were glad there was not a long wait time for a date to schedule the work. We will definitely use them again.

Great service! Steve was very professional, friendly, and on time. The team worked safely and was respectful of all surrounding properties. This team took down a 60' sweet gum tree in two days with utility wires and a garage close by and kept everything and everyone safe. Excellent work! Thank you!

Showed up on time. This was a very large tulip tree between our house and the neighbors. Was safe and very well organized. Other than the stump, couldn't see that they were ever here five stars. Thank Guy's

I have spent over a year and trying to get a tree company to cut down a tree in my front yard and the tree in my backyard 3 companies. Would? Come out? Somewhat. Look? At the tree in the front yard and say it is more than they are capable of doing. Some would look at the tree and give me A crazy high price for cutting. River city came out look at my tree and gave me an excellent price for cutting it down. Katrina my Front. yard was an easy 60 to 70 feet high. Some of the limbs were as big his trees. If you need something downward a tree these are the people to call. They did a great job.

I used River City last fall to trim two tall trees that needed dead limbs removed. River City was very competitive on their pricing and very professional in all their interactions with us. They did the work we discussed and made sure before they loaded up that we were happy with their work and the condition of the yard, they left the property in better shape then it was when they arrived. Highly recommend this business.

River City removed a 60 year old tree from our backyard. The tree was close to power lines which was a concern and added expense from some of the other companies that gave us a bid. However, they were able to remove the tree in a safe manner and did a great job cleaning up the area after the stump was removed. They were also the best bid we received. I would highly recommend this company and plan on using them again in the future.
