Our Dormant Oil Application Process: What You Need to Know

What pests does dormant oil control?
Dormant oil can control a range of pests, including aphids, spider mites, mealybugs, thrips, whiteflies, adelgids, scale insects, and caterpillar eggs. It suffocates young insects and eggs, which helps reduce pest populations in the upcoming growing season.

Why Choose Dormant Oil Application for Your Shrubs and Trees?
To control pests on ornamental trees and shrubs, we recommend applying our dormant oil treatment at the optimal time: late fall through early spring. The horticultural oil spray creates a protective barrier on the plant’s surface, suffocating overwintering insects without harming pollinators or the environment. This solution promotes plant health and a natural reduction in pest populations. Dormant oil applications offer an eco-friendly way to protect your ornamental trees and shrubs from pests.
