When to Continue or Pause Systemic Tree Treatments

Insect Control Product (e.g., Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Insect Control)

If no insect signs (chewed leaves, honeydew, visible pests), you can skip a year. The product prevents infestation but isn't needed without pressure.

Disease Control Product

Consider continuing preventively. Once foliar disease starts, damage is hard to reverse.

Decision Factors

• Cost vs. risk tolerance.
• Monitor annually; treat at first sign of trouble.
