About this service

Boxwood Care

Box tree moth is native to East Asia and was accidentally introduced to the U.S. on infested boxwoods from Ontario, Canada, in 2021. Though establishment is uncertain, it has been detected in many North Eastern states and unfortunately, locally. Its primary hosts are boxwoods with euonymus and hollies as potential hosts.

How We Treat Boxwoods

1st Application: We apply a spring dormant oil combined with a bioinsecticide, specifically Bacillus thuringiensis var. Kurstaki (BtK). When susceptible insects ingest the BtK, it disrupts their digestive system, leading to death from bacterial infection. This treatment targets the caterpillars or pupae present on the plants.

2nd Application: During mid-summer, we apply a systemic insect control alongside another dose of bioinsecticide. This round targets both caterpillars and pupae again, as well as the eggs laid beneath the boxwood leaves. Our fogging blower ensures that the product reaches these hidden areas for effective treatment.

3rd Application: In the fall, we apply a dormant oil combined with BtK to eliminate any remaining adults, along with a systemic insecticide to combat any eggs surviving into the winter months.

Seasonal Lawncare offers these specialized treatments for residential homes at just $79.99 plus tax. While the boxwood moth can travel over six miles, making total eradication challenging, our program is the most comprehensive and results-driven approach we’ve found effective in controlling the moth population.

Ongoing Boxwood Maintenance

To keep your boxwoods thriving, ongoing care is essential. This includes:

  • Proper Watering: Ensure your boxwoods are adequately watered, particularly during dry periods.
  • Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer to supply vital nutrients.
  • Pruning: Regular pruning encourages healthy new growth and helps maintain their shape.
  • Self-Monitoring: For additional protection, you can treat your boxwoods between our applications with a product like “Sevin,” available at your local home improvement store.

Things You Can Do as the Homeowner

  • Handpicking or pruning affected branches can be effective when infestations are localized and manageable.
  • Promptly remove and carefully destroy to prevent the pest from spreading.

FAQ

Here are some answers to the questions we hear the most.

You will begin to notice some cupping and curling of the weeds within two to three days. It will take approximately four weeks for your weeds to disappear completely.

All fertilizers will need to be watered. It’s also helpful to water after an application of insect control as this will water it into the thatch and root zone where insects like to call home. Pre-emergent crabgrass control works best when watered in. Liquid weed controls, once dried, should be fine. Once a liquid application is dry, the weed control has entered the weed and has already begun to take effect. Remember, our treatment programs are guaranteed to work so, if you should ever have a concern, please contact our office.

Waiting 24-48 hours before mowing will give you the best results.

Returning clippings evenly to the lawn (no heavy clumping) returns valuable nutrients to the lawn.

It is recommended that people and pets stay off the lawn until the treatment is dryDepending on weather could be as soon as an hour. NYS would prefer you limit your activity for 24 hours.

Seasonal Lawncare’s products are safer than many household cleaners, offering a cost-effective alternative to DIY methods. Once dry, pets can safely resume normal activities, providing peace of mind.

No. The technician will leave an invoice along with any important information and/or instructions regarding your treatment, such as watering, mowing, observations and concerns.

Payment is due upon receipt of the treatment and invoice (unless you prepaid at the beginning of the season). You have 30 days to pay to avoid scheduling delays. After 30 days a minimum late charge of $12 will be added to your account.

Absolutely! Our treatment programs come with guaranteed results. If you ever have a concern, a Seasonal Lawncare manager is available to address the concern at no charge – typically 24 to 48 hours after receiving the call.

With a fertilizer or insect treatment, seeding can be done immediately. Pre- and post-emergent weed treatments will restrict seeding for 3 to 12 weeks, according to label instructions.

Yes, we do! Our organic program has the same timing as our non-organic program. We use the highest-quality organic-based fertilizer (please note that organic fertilizers do not kill weeds). Organic applications are applied in liquid and granular form at the same price as our non-organic programs. Please contact us for more information.
