HOME AND BARRIER SPRAYS

The Treatment

What to expect from our Boxwood Protection service.

The Boxwood Inspection

Your Spider Guys technician will carefully examine your property, pinpointing areas where Boxwoods are affected and where boxwood caterpillars may be hiding. This includes under eaves, around window frames, in sheds, along fence lines, and other secluded areas.

Equipment & Formulations

Protecting you is important to us! Before applying any treatments, your technician will suit up in the appropriate protective gear. Our solutions are expertly mixed depending on what type of caterpillar or moth is present.

The “YardGuard” Barrier Spray

This perimeter treatment forms a protective shield around your yard discouraging boxwood caterpillars, boxwood moths, and other pests from venturing closer to your home. We strategically apply this solution multiple times throughout the season for long-lasting protection.

The “HomeGuard” Barrier Spray

Our specialized clear-drying solution treats the exterior of your home, creating an invisible barrier that deters caterpillars and other pests that eat boxwoods and boxwood shrubs. No more worrying about smudges or residues on doors and windows – discretion is key.

Targets Boxwood Pests

Our bespoke pest control solution eliminates bothersome boxwood moths and caterpillars using targeted methods that ensure a pest-free environment.

Box Tree Caterpillar

cydalima perspectalis

Box tree caterpillars are the larvae of the box tree moth. They hatch from eggs laid on the undersides of box leaves and eat them.

While feeding they create webbing over their feeding area and later form a chrysalis (after about a month).

Box Tree Moth

cydalima perspectalis

Box tree moths lay eggs on the undersides of boxwood leaves, which later develop into box tree caterpillars.

Caterpillars create webbing over their feeding area and eat the box leaves, then form a chrysalis after about a month.

Boxwood Leafminer

monarthropalpus flavus

This is one of the most common and damaging boxwood pests.

The larvae feed on the leaves from the inside, creating blisters and causing the leaves to appear puffy and discolored.

Boxwood Mite

eurytetranychus buxi

These are tiny spider mites that feed on the undersides of boxwood leaves.

Infested leaves may develop a speckled or bronzed appearance.

Boxwood Psyllid

psylla buxi

These tiny insects suck the sap from the new growth, causing the leaves to cup and distort.

The damage typically appears as cupped or twisted leaves.

Boxwood Scale

lepidosaphes buxi

These are small, armored scale insects that attach to the stems and undersides of leaves, sucking sap and weakening the plant.

Infested plants may have a sooty mold growth due to the honeydew produced by the scales.
