There may be hundreds of caterpillars seen walking nose to tail, winding along roadways, paths or golfing greens. The caterpillars are covered with brittle hairs, which cause a severe reaction when they come into contact with human skin. The hairs remain toxic even after the caterpillar has died and can also be carried in the air causing respiratory damage if breathed in.
This system provides an ecologic alternative for the treatment of trees as substances go directly to the tree resulting in much more efficient and fast results, without polluting the environment.
We inject by hand, pampering the pine. We do not use compressed air machinery that can damage the structure of the tree.
These hairs can be blown by the wind into contact with people resulting in painful skin irritations and rashes and, in some cases, serious allergic reactions.
The tongue may become so large and swollen that partial or full amputation may be necessary. You might also notice a very bad smell. Because of the swelling the air passages can also become blocked leading to suffocation and death.

By injecting the active ingredient directly into the sap of the tree, we ensure an even distribution of the product and the right amount to achieve a positive and immediate reaction.
With a single application is sufficient in most cases to correct the deficiency or solve the problem that the tree from its pathology, staying in it between one or two years. Sprayed chemicals efficiency can decrease dramatically when it rains.
The time it takes the tree to absorb any of these shots, is between 30 seconds and 15 minutes depending on the state of the tree and variety of it.
Using this system, we avoid environmental pollution, especially in the case of pest management.
Valid method for tackling other pests apart from the Processionary Caterpillar.
While the tree injection is a localized infusion of liquids along the trunk, spraying might not reach every part of the tree, can be blown away by the wind and easily washed up with the rain.
Spraying of chemicals pollute the environment, soil and water and can be extremely harmful to humans & animals.
If your have a small garden, the sprayed nutrient (poison) can affect other houses, schools, parks…
While the trunk injection method protects your pines for one or two years, you´ll need to re-spray the trees periodically to ensure very single leaf has been watered after a few weeks, if it rains, if its windy (moths can fly from tree to tree), etc.
The tree will absorb the nutrient throughout its vascular system and will carry it all the way to the leaves just before the caterpillars start eating them.

We carefully inspect the plant to detect what disease or pest it suffers. We will let you know the total price of the treatment after thoroughly inspecting the trees.
We select, in each case, the most suitable phytosanitary product to inject in tree.
We drill the tree and with our state-of-the-art injecting machinery we will inoculate the nutrient quickly and efficiently. We inject by hand, pampering the pine. We do not use compressed air machinery that can damage the structure of the tree.
The tree will be protected for a year, and in a short time you will see how the holes where the product has been injected are closed.

Private house or community of neighbors: endotherapy cures the tree without affecting the environment
With endotherapy your trees will look healthy without clients noticing herbicides or insecticides.
Thanks to endotherapy it is possible to keep the trees healthy and protected without affecting the area.
School trees will remain healthy without affecting children playing in the treated area.
