Shrub Insect Control in Sebastian, Vero Beach & Palm Bay

Shrub Insect Control in Sebastian, Vero Beach & Palm Bay

Florida's warm, humid weather keeps hedges and ornamentals green year-round, and it keeps the bugs that feed on them busy too. If your shrubs have yellowing leaves, a sticky shine, black sooty mold, or white specks on the stems, sap-sucking insects are probably to blame. Halo's Pest Arrest treats ornamental shrubs for homeowners in Sebastian, Vero Beach, Palm Bay, Melbourne, and the rest of Indian River and Brevard counties.

Common Shrub Pests We Treat

• Whiteflies: Tiny white insects that fly up in a cloud when you brush the plant. They're a big problem on ficus hedges, hibiscus, and gardenias, and they can strip leaves fast.
• Scale insects: Small bumps on stems and the undersides of leaves that don't look like bugs at all. They drain sap and weaken plants over time.
• Aphids: Soft-bodied insects that cluster on new growth and leave curled, distorted leaves behind.
• Mealybugs: White, cottony clumps tucked into leaf joints and stems.
• Thrips and mites: Hard to see, but they leave speckled, silvery, or bronzed leaves.

Signs Your Shrubs Need Treatment

• Yellow, curling, or dropping leaves
• Sticky honeydew on leaves, cars, or walkways below
• Black sooty mold coating the foliage
• White, waxy, or cottony spots on stems and leaf undersides
• Thinning hedges or branches dying back

How Our Shrub Insect Control Works

We start by inspecting your shrubs to figure out which pest you're dealing with, because whiteflies, scale, and mites each call for a different approach. Then we apply targeted treatments to the affected plants and follow up to make sure the problem stays under control. If your shrubs also need feeding, ask about pairing insect control with our shrub fertilization service.
