Burien Insect Treatment for Shrubs

Homeowner’s Issue

Burien’s mild, wet winters and damp springs make shrubs vulnerable to scale, aphids, mites, and fungal stress. Many yards here have compacted soil, variable drainage on slopes, and heavy shade from mature evergreens, which together slow drying and increase pest pressure. Properties near Seahurst Park or on Highline slopes often show moisture pockets and moss that hide early infestations.

Homeowners and landlords want low-maintenance, tenant-ready landscapes that look tidy and resist repeat pests. That means focusing on cultural fixes — improving drainage, selective pruning, air circulation, and soil health — plus targeted, sustainable controls. We avoid synthetic herbicides and harsh pesticides, using organic soaps, horticultural oils, beneficial insects, and careful mechanical removal so shrubs recover quicker and landscapes stay safe for kids and pets.

Our Quality Service

We combine a detailed inspection with a treatment plan tailored to your shrub types, slope and soil conditions. Work includes pruning for airflow, organic topical controls where needed, and planting adjustments to reduce future pest pressure. The goal is safety, improved curb appeal, and long-lasting, low-maintenance results suited to Burien yards.

What’s Included

• Full inspection and pest ID
• Targeted organic treatments (insecticidal soap, horticultural oil, beneficial insects)
• Pruning of infested or crowded growth
• Mulch refresh to retain moisture and suppress weeds
• Clean-up and haul-away or green bin disposal (your choice)

Optional upgrades:

• Mulch + fabric installation
• Soil testing and organic amendments
• Organic weed control and repeat monitoring

Before & After / Expectations

After treatment expect visible improvement in 2–4 weeks as pests decline and foliage recovers. Plan for follow-up visits in wetter months and after heavy rains to check for reinfestation. Simple care: improve drainage, remove debris, water deeply but infrequently, and inspect for new aphid or scale activity.
