Seeking a pesticide/fungicide contractor for Bentley, Hampshire

Posted by Jane Heath on August 3, 2015 at 6:24pm in Pesticides

Hi

I am looking for a contractor with the relevant licences to spray circa 50 Buxus sempervirens plants at three neighbouring properties between Bentley and Crondall.

The history is they were hit by box blight a few years ago.  Although this is now under control (currently being sprayed twice annually), they have now been infested by both scale insect and spider mite.  I don't have a licence and have been doing what I can with Provado but the infestion has become quite heavy and I am not confident what I am doing is having much of an impact. They need professional treatment.

If someone can help - or knows of someone who can help, please let me know.

    Hi Jane,

    Happy to talk through professional products your contractor could use as we have excellent products for red spider mite. Interested to ask about your box blight too.

     While we don't carry out the work ourselves I am sure there must be someone among this friendly bunch who can help you out!

    Regards,

    We could do this but is a 2 hour round trip from our base and I wouldn't be able to fit it in until September.

    Please do get in touch if that is of any use - www.nmgs.co.uk.

      Thanks Nick.  Clearly it makes sense to try to find someone a bit closer but if not, I'll be in touch.

    Hi Jane,

    I have a contractor that could well be interested in coming to spray the buxus for you. I can't send you a private message as we are not friends, but if you email me, I will put the two of you in touch!

    Cheers Ollie

      Thanks so much, Ollie - and Phil too.  I believe I have found someone but will be in touch if it doesn't work out.
