With the unseasonably warm temperatures we’ve had in the Treasure Valley in the last month, insects are going to be very active this spring. Dormant Oil protects trees and shrubs from insects that overwinter. It also helps control the eggs that will soon hatch and start feeding on your precious landscape.
Did you know that a Dormant Oil application also helps fight off fungal diseases, such as black spot on roses?
A correctly timed Dormant Oil application is done before trees produce new leaves. It must be applied at the proper temperature to avoid damaging plants that do not drop their foliage. Dormant Oil is safe for birds and animals, however, be sure ponds with fish are covered.
