Adelgid Control and Treatment

Hemlocks and Pines are under attack from Adelgid.  Hemlock Woolly Adelgid is a serious threat to Eastern Hemlocks in the Philadelphia area. Additionally, Pines such as White, Austrian and Pitch are frequently infested by Pine Bark Adelgid. Both Adelgids cause serious damage.

For Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, close inspection is required.  Look for cottony dots on the underside of hemlock branches, grayish-green needles, needle drop and branch dieback. Without treatment the Hemlock will die. Trees must be treated when the pest is most vulnerable.

Pine Bark Adelgid (pictured) can also seriously injure Pines.  On newly planted trees,  heavy infestations can stunt plant growth.  Another easy to spot symptom of this pest is the appearance of snow on the bark. Pine bark adelgids also secrete honeydew, which can lead to the presence of sooty mold and attacks by other pests.
