Benefits of our dormant oil spray

With spring just around the corner, it’s time to plan ahead to ensure the health of your property’s plantings. Many mites, aphids, and other pests have been overwintering on your roses, fruit trees, and shrubs just waiting for the warmer weather to hatch and begin their destructive behavior. By coating these spores and eggs with our organic dormant oil spray and suffocating them, we can thwart their emergence without the use of harmful chemicals, protecting beneficial insects and the environment. Our professionals will determine which elements of your landscape would benefit from this preventive measure and the best time for application, allowing your plantings to thrive as we move into the new growing season.

Get the jump on ticks

With our winters becoming warmer and shorter, the tick population is now active more months of the year, and therefore the incidence of Lyme Disease in Connecticut is still a concern. Using the latest organic strategies, Gerbert & Sons combats this threat with our comprehensive 4-part tick control program, with the first application in early spring. We also recommend the use of tick tubes where appropriate in your yard. Our experts will assess your property’s vulnerable regions and areas of human activity to formulate a custom plan that best guards your family and pets, allowing you to safely enjoy outdoor living with the return of warm weather.
