Turf and Plant Heathcare

• SPRUCE SPIDER MITES: Crawlers are active in late spring/early summer and again at this time. Also will need a dormant oil spray.
• MAGNOLIA SCALE CRAWLERS: Spray crawlers at this time along with a dormant oil spray. CHECK YOUR MAGNOLIAS!
• EUONYMUS SCALE: The Morton Arboretum reported a 2^nd generation of crawlers at the end of August. Spray for crawlers now along with a dormant oil spray and a spray in June. Multiple sprays in June if heavily infested.
• WOOLY APHIDS: Still active, spray now
• FALL WEBWORM: Do not confuse with eastern tent cats that we see in spring. Usually do not warrant spray.
• GRUBS: Need to be treated with Dylox (curative) at this time. This is a granular treatment that needs to be watered in.
• DOLLAR SPOT: Must be sprayed in early development stage for best results. Proper fertility will reduce the occurrence and severity. Another good reason for a 4^TH Fertilization!
