Ornamental tree and shrub care for Annapolis, MD 21401, 21403
In the Annapolis area there are a wide variety of insects and diseases that we have to contend
with to keep our plants and trees healthy. An important part of the training that our technicians
receive is dealing with the variety of insects that can and will harm your landscaping. A healthy
tree or shrub or even perennial is far less likely to contract a disease. Trees, for example will
send an odor into the air when the tree is in a weakened state. The odor will attract insects and
will allow the insect entry into the tree.
BOG, Pest control in partnership with BOG Lawn Care will come to your home and will treat
your shrubs with the necessary products to ensure a healthy landscape. We specialize in an
organic approach for treatment of the landscape plantings. We have a yearlong plan that
includes winter protection, fertilization, wax coating (pre-winter), dormant oils in the spring to
stop insect eggs from hatching and an inspection program to help the healthy growth of your
shrubbery. Contact us for an appointment.

The Tree/Shrub program will protect your investment in your landscape by controlling:
- Insects
- Diseases
- Harsh winter winds and ice
- Essential nutrients in the soil
How? Our customized 6 step program will keep your landscape healthy and beautiful.
- Early Spring: We apply a horticultural oil treatment before insects have a chance to develop. This oil prevents insects from hatching, before they can damage your landscape. We apply a balanced slow release fertilizer with micro-nutrients and iron to the root zone of your plants. These essential nutrients will promote root development, and foliage growth.
- Mid-Spring: Each plant is individually treated to protect them from spring insects (lace bugs, caterpillars, and mitts) and disease (leaf spot, scale, and rust). Nutrients are applied as needed.
- Early Summer: Each plant is individually treated to protect them from summer insects (Bag Worms, mites, and beetles) and Disease (powdery mildew, leaf spot, scale) Nutrients are applied as needed.
- Late Summer: Summer is when insect and disease problems often spread quickly. Both insects and diseases are monitored and treated as needed. Nutrients are applied as needed.
- Fall: Deep root injection to susceptible plants with systemic insecticide provides protection against harmful pests like emerald ash borer, hemlock wooly adelgid, and scale plus a fully-soluble fertilizer product that provides both chemical and biological fertility. Apply balanced fertilizer slow release fertilizer to all other plants.
- Winter: We apply a wax coat to protect your plants from drying out in the cold and ice of the winter and harsh winds.
