Tree & Ornamental Spraying & Management in Corpus Christi & South Texas
Fifty Shades Of Brown In Your Front Yard?
You spend a fortune planting beautiful palms, oaks, and flowering shrubs to make your home look like a tropical paradise. But in South Texas, keeping them alive is a full-time job. Between the scorching heat, hungry insects, and fungal diseases, your "paradise" can quickly turn into a brown, shriveled mess.
Don't let your expensive landscaping turn into expensive firewood. Elite Exterminating knows that trees and ornamentals need more than just water to survive down here. We provide the specialized nutrition and protection they need to thrive, so you can stop worrying about yellowing leaves and start enjoying the view.

The Tiny Tree Terminators
The Sap Suckers: Aphids, scale insects, and whiteflies love your ornamentals just as much as you do—but for lunch. They suck the vital fluids right out of the leaves, leaving behind a sticky residue (honeydew) that turns black with mold. If your bushes look like they are covered in soot, you have a bug problem.
The Borers & Beetles: These guys work from the inside out. Wood-boring beetles tunnel into trunks and branches, cutting off the flow of nutrients. By the time you see the damage on the outside, the tree is often fighting for its life.
The Caterpillars: From Webworms to Tussock Moths, caterpillars can strip a tree bare in a matter of days. It is not just ugly; losing all its leaves stresses the tree out, making it vulnerable to other diseases.


It’s Not Just About Bugs
Sometimes the problem isn't what is eating your plant, but what your plant is eating (or lacking). South Texas soil can be tough on non-native plants. Nutrient deficiencies often show up as yellowing leaves (chlorosis) or stunted growth.
Fungal diseases are another silent killer. In our humid climate, leaf spot, rust, and root rot spread like wildfire. We use systemic fungicides and deep-root fertilizers that go straight to the source. Think of it as a vitamin shot and a shield combined into one powerful treatment.
How We Save The Shrubbery
1. The Check-Up (Inspection)
We play plant doctor. We inspect your trees and shrubs to diagnose the root cause of the distress. Is it iron deficiency? A fungal infection? Or a hidden infestation? We find out before we spray.
2. The Prescription (Treatment Plan)
One size does not fit all. We create a custom blend of insecticides, fungicides, or fertilizers based on exactly what your landscape needs. We don't just spray and pray.
3. The Application (Delivery)
Whether it is foliar spraying for surface pests or deep-root injection for systemic issues, we apply the treatment where it will be most effective. This ensures the plant absorbs the medicine without wasting product.
4. The Monitoring (Follow-Up)
Trees heal slower than people. We check back to see how the plants are responding. Recovery takes time, but consistent care prevents future relapses and keeps your landscape looking lush.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you save a dead tree?
If it is completely brown and brittle, probably not. We are exterminators, not necromancers. But if there is still green, there is hope! We can often reverse the damage if we catch it early enough.
Do you trim trees?
No, we are purely a health care service for plants. We treat for bugs, fungus, and nutrition. For trimming and removal, you will need a dedicated tree trimming company (arborist).
Is the spray safe for my flowers?
Yes, we are very careful. However, we avoid spraying open blooms whenever possible to protect pollinators like bees. We focus on the leaves and stems where the pests and diseases live.
How often do trees need treatment?
It depends on the issue. Pest infestations might need a quick series of treatments to knock them out. Nutritional support is usually a seasonal maintenance schedule to keep them healthy year-round.
What is that black stuff on my leaves?
That is likely "Sooty Mold." It grows on the sticky "honeydew" poop left behind by insects like aphids and scale. To get rid of the mold, we have to kill the bugs first.
