Late summer is when pest damage becomes easy to spot on Louisville and Jefferson County properties, and by the time it's obvious, some of it has already done real harm.
Bagworms build small, cone-shaped bags on evergreens like arborvitae and juniper, and by the time homeowners notice the browning branches, the caterpillars inside have already stripped the foliage. Japanese beetles are more visible, skeletonizing leaves on a wide range of trees and shrubs through mid to late summer.
Neither problem always requires removal, but both benefit from an early, informed look rather than a wait-and-see approach. Our certified arborists can identify what's actually causing the damage and recommend a treatment path suited to the tree and the extent of the infestation.
If you've noticed thinning, browning, or skeletonized leaves on your property this summer, it's worth having a professional take a look before the damage spreads further.

Authentic job photo preferred: close-up of bagworm bags on an evergreen or beetle damage on leaves, or an arborist inspecting affected foliage on a Louisville property. Real photos help homeowners recognize the actual problem on their own trees.
