These tiny insect pests are prevalent in the United States and extremely common throughout Fort Worth. Lace bugs target many of the popular trees and plants in the DFW metroplex including, but not limited to, willow, sycamore, hickory, poplar, ash, and birch. They reproduce at a swift pace and can rapidly overtake your residential outdoor environment. There are over 2000 species of lace bugs and are easily recognized by their filmy, translucent wings. The insect-infested tree will exhibit signs of a sick tree, wilted foliage and speckled discolorations on its leaves. Although they rarely destroy trees, the damage lace bugs cause is visually displeasing. Left untreated, this insect problem can result in the death of the tree. When your tree is exhibiting these symptoms or you observe these insects on your outdoor grounds it is imperative to contact an experienced tree company.

Lace bugs initially target trees and plants that are stressed, weak and vulnerable. They siphon the nutritional fluids from foliage and prevent the tree from transporting nutrients throughout its vascular system.
