Pests We Target

Below are the tree and shrub pests and diseases we diagnose and treat most often. Click any one to read our guide on how to spot it and what to do about it — or have our NC-licensed technician identify the problem and treat it for you.

Scale insects and mealybugs on a shrub leaf, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC
Pest Control

Scale and Mealybugs

Waxy, immobile bumps on stems and leaf undersides — including crepe myrtle bark scale and tea scale — that suck sap, weaken the plant, and leave sticky honeydew and black sooty mold. We time treatment to the vulnerable crawler stage.

Aphids and sap-sucking pests on a leaf, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC
Pest Control

Sap-Sucking Pests

Aphids, lace bugs, spider mites, whiteflies, and adelgids drain sap from the leaves, causing yellowing, fine stippling, and early leaf drop. Azalea lace bug is the big one here in NC. Left alone they multiply fast and invite sooty mold.

Leaf-chewing caterpillar on a shrub, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC
Pest Control

Leaf-Chewing Pests

Bagworms, Japanese beetles, and caterpillars (webworms, tent caterpillars) chew foliage and can strip a shrub or evergreen in a hurry. We catch them early, before they defoliate the plant.

Powdery mildew on a shrub leaf, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC
Disease Control

Powdery Mildew

A white, dusty film on leaves and new growth — common on crepe myrtle, dogwood, and roses in humid weather. It disfigures and weakens the plant. We treat preventively and open up airflow.

Leaf spot and anthracnose on a hawthorn shrub, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC
Disease Control

Leaf Spot / Anthracnose

Brown or black spots, blotches, and early leaf drop on dogwoods, cherry laurels, and maples, driven by our warm, wet springs. We treat and clear the infected leaves that carry it over to next year.

Boxwood blight on shrubs, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC
Disease Control

Boxwood Blight

A fast, destructive disease — dark leaf spots, stem lesions, and rapid defoliation of boxwoods. It spreads easily, so early diagnosis and careful sanitation are the whole game.

Fire blight on a tree, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC
Disease Control

Fire Blight

Blackened, scorched-looking shoots that curl over on pears, crabapples, and pyracantha. It kills branches back fast; we prune it out and treat to protect the healthy growth.

Root rot on trees and shrubs, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC

Root Rot

Root rot is a water problem before it is a disease problem. Phytophthora, the soil-borne organism behind most root rot, only takes hold when soil stays wet.

Needle and tip blight on an evergreen, treated by Lawn Panther in Holly Springs, NC

Needle / Tip Blight

Browning and thinning from the inside out on Leyland cypress, arborvitae, and Thuja. We treat the disease and address the crowding and moisture that let it take hold.

Pest and Disease Control FAQs

Here are a few common questions about our pest and disease prevention services for lawns and ornamental plantings.

In Holly Springs, one-off insect or disease treatments run $95 to $450 depending on plant size, and our recurring Tree and Shrub Program runs $500 to $700 per year. Your exact price depends on the plant’s size and the pest or disease. Call or text 984-284-5399 for a fast Holly Springs quote.

It depends on the pest. Horticultural oil smothers scale and mites; systemic insecticides handle sap-suckers like aphids and lace bugs; and timing usually matters more than the product. A blanket spray without a diagnosis often misses the target and wastes money, so our NC-licensed technician identifies the pest first. See our guide to scale and mealybugs.

Identify the pest before you spray — scale, aphids, spider mites, lace bugs, and bagworms each need a different treatment. Our licensed technician diagnoses first, then treats with a targeted insecticide or horticultural oil, usually $95 to $450 by plant size. Learn what is chewing your shrubs in our leaf-chewing pests guide.

Culture first, fungicide second: improve airflow and watering, prune out infected wood, then apply a targeted fungicide only if it is needed. Boxwood blight, powdery mildew, and leaf spot each call for a different approach, so diagnosis comes first. Treatment runs $95 to $450 by plant size. Read our full shrub and tree disease treatment guide.

Watch for spots or blotches on the leaves, a white dusty film, dark stem lesions, dieback, or early leaf drop. Boxwood blight shows dark leaf spots and bare stems; leaf spot and anthracnose show brown blotches and premature drop. If it is spreading, get it diagnosed. See our leaf spot and anthracnose guide.

Most decline traces to one of three causes: a boring or sap-sucking insect, a fungal or bacterial disease, or a root problem from wet NC clay. Root rot and blights are common here, and the fix depends entirely on which it is. A licensed diagnosis saves you from treating the wrong thing. Read why plants wilt and die in wet NC clay.
