Aphids and elm beetles are common tree pests that can wreak havoc on your landscape. Aphids feed on the sap of trees, causing leaves to curl, yellow, and drop prematurely. These tiny insects reproduce rapidly, forming large colonies that can quickly infest your trees.
Elm beetles, on the other hand, target elm trees specifically. They feed on the leaves of elm trees, causing defoliation and weakening the tree’s overall health. Infestations of elm beetles can lead to the decline and even death of susceptible elm trees if left untreated.
