Biological pest controlfor ornamental trees
Before treating anything, you need to know what is eating the tree. Maxime Caradec identifies the pest, then uses what matches it: beneficial insects, a pheromone trap, or a product approved for organic farming.

Price and timing: the concrete answers
When should a pest problem be treated?
With Maxime Caradec, the season dictates the method: beneficial insects are released at the first colonies, pheromone traps go up before the adults fly. Allow fifteen days of lead time in the low season, a month in the high season.
How a tree under attack is treated
First, name the pest or the disease. Then look for what upset the balance of the garden: compacted soil, a grubbed-up hedge that sheltered the predators, pruning that was too severe the year before.
Against aphids and scale insects, ladybirds and lacewings released on site eat the colonies. Against a fungus, there is nothing to spray: a sanitary pruning opens up the crown, and the fungus struggles to settle in foliage that dries quickly.
Pine processionary caterpillars have their own page: their stinging hairs stay dangerous for years, and the method changes with the season.

Frequently asked questions about biological pest control
Everything you need to know before contacting us
Which pests do you treat with biological control?
+
Aphids, scale insects and the other common pests of ornamental trees, using releases of beneficial insects, pheromone traps and approved biological treatments. Pine processionary caterpillars are a separate service, described on their own page.
Does biological pest control work?
+
Yes, when the pest has been correctly identified. A synthetic product also kills the predators, and the pest comes back. Beneficial insects, on the other hand, stay in the garden.
How much does a biological treatment cost?
+
Traps, approved organic treatments and releases of beneficial insects are priced on a quote, once the pest has been identified. Never as a flat rate.
When should pests be dealt with?
+
It depends on the pest. Aphids are treated in spring, traps go up before the adults take flight, and beneficial insects are released once the first colonies appear.
What should I do about an Asian hornet nest in a tree?
+
Do not go near it or try to destroy it: a disturbed nest triggers an attack, and the height adds the risk of a fall. Report it to the town hall (mairie), which will direct you to an approved contractor. A nest found during a job is reported too.
