Spring is when tree pests and diseases become most active and visible across Central Alabama. New leaf growth signals the emergence of aphids, spider mites, scale insects, and bark beetles. Warm, wet conditions encourage fungal diseases like anthracnose, leaf spot, and canker formation. Early detection and treatment can prevent serious decline and stop problems from spreading to neighboring trees.
Warning signs include discolored or spotted leaves, unusual wilting or premature leaf drop, sticky residue on branches, visible insects or webbing, bark damage, or cankers. Our ISA Certified Arborist uses Integrated Pest Management to diagnose and treat problems effectively with minimal environmental impact.
ACE Tree Service serves Birmingham, Huntsville, Hoover, Vestavia, and surrounding Central Alabama areas with free tree assessments. Call today if you've noticed signs of pest or disease activity on your property.
Ideally an authentic close-up photo showing specific pest damage (scale insects, aphids, webbing) or disease symptoms (spotted leaves, canker, bark damage). Educational detail photos work very well for pest/disease content. If no specific damage photo available, a photo of affected foliage or branch showing stress.
