Aloha to all tree protectors. When troublesome pests threaten our beloved trees, fast and safe action is essential. The Aloha Tree Savers approach centers on two simple ideas: an immediate, non-toxic topical spray to knock back the invaders right away, and a long-term root-drench strategy (PTWK) to prevent a comeback. This blog outlines a practical, homeowner-friendly plan designed to protect ornamentals, fruit trees, and shade trees without harming people, pets, or the environment.
For immediate eradication, the non-toxic topical spray is your first line of defense. We spray evenly to all affected surfaces, including the crown, fronds, and the lower canopy where pests tend to munch on the trees.
Long-term prevention hinges on the PTWK root drenching treatment. PTWK represents a tailored root-drench protocol designed to reach the tree’s vascular system and create a hostile environment for CRB because when ingested the tree, they suffocate and die. The basic idea is to deliver a diluted, evenly distributed solution to the root zone, allowing the tree to absorb active compounds through the roots and translocate them to the canopy.
Successfully integrating topical spray and PTWK drenches are eco-friendly with active ingredients that will not harm people, pets, bees and the surrounding soil life. The science beyond the topical spray is that it dries out the grubs and drives live beetles right out of the tree. The root drenching of the PTWK is that once a beetle takes a bite of the treated tree they suffocate and die. This method stops the spread because the beetles can’t build up immunity to this eco-friendly pesticide unlike traditional pesticides. We start with a baseline tree health check and provide a clear plan at no charge. Best to start your free tree inspection before the tree fronds are completely eaten by the CRB. Get your trees their flu shot to stop the spread now.
