Our Pine, Fir and Spruce trees and forests are a vital part of our homes, business', ranches, cities and parks. Preservation has become more important as the spread of Mountain, Pine, Western, Ips, Spruce and bark beetles continue to increase. Many mountain property owners and communities are taking aggressive steps to preserve the beauty of their trees and forests. One important step is the implementation of an integrated beetle control program. A well-managed bark beetle control program also reduces the high cost of tree removal.

Horizon Forestry™ specializes in safe and effective controls to treat the outbreak and spread of Mountain, Pine, Ips, Spruce and other bark beetles. Our staff can provide a complete range of beetle controls tailored to meet the specific needs of your property.

After inspection, our recommended treatments may include thinning, removal of infected trees, programmed preventative pesticide application, systemic applications, pheromone based preventatives, traps or attractants and foliar or root fertilization.

A successful bark beetle pesticide application program has four objectives;

• Diagnosis of the problem.
• The right chemical and rate.
• Proper timing.
• Thorough coverage.

These are essential and cannot be overemphasized. Any one component is worthless without all the others. For example, often a pest is correctly identified and the right chemical chosen but the spray application does not provide thorough coverage.

Our specialized High Volume High Pressure (HVHP) and FMC Rotomist sprayers are capable of effectively treating even the tallest Pine, Fir and Spruce trees to label recommended coverages and we are able to operate on slopes and under less than ideal site conditions.

Horizon Forestry™ can provide cost effective and competitive beetle management solutions for individuals, homeowner's associations, resorts, ski areas and ranches as well as local, state and federal governmental agencies.
