A sick garden is not only unsightly but can be a source of infection for other species and a danger to pets and children. Furthermore, climate change and mild winters on the coast are advancing and multiplying pests. At Servinmosol, we don't just spray; we diagnose and cure. Thanks to our official certification, we have access to high-efficacy professional treatments that are not sold to the general public.
Why hire a qualified applicator?
The use of chemicals requires responsibility and knowledge.
- Professional User License: We are authorized by the Department of Agriculture to purchase and apply professional-use phytosanitary products. This ensures we comply with safety and environmental regulations (Royal Decree 1311/2012).
- Superior Efficacy: "Garden center" products usually have very low concentrations. We apply exact doses of potent active ingredients to eradicate the pest at the root without damaging the plant.
Common Pests in the Levante
We combat the most frequent threats in our area with specific protocols:
1. Pine Processionary Caterpillar
A caterpillar extremely dangerous to dogs and children due to its stinging hairs. They form dangerous white nests in the branches and pose a lethal danger of tongue necrosis for dogs if licked. We perform preventive treatments in autumn (before they come down to the ground) using Endotherapy or trunk injections, avoiding aerial spraying that disperses the product.

The palm tree killer. Symptoms include the loss of the central eye, leaves falling 'like a closed umbrella', and a strong fermentation smell. We apply a rigorous schedule of foliar showers and endotherapy to create a chemical shield that prevents the insect from laying its eggs in the crown.

We treat lawns with selective fungicides (Phytophthora, Pythium) that attack the fungus without burning the grass. Circular yellow or brown patches on the lawn are usually caused by nighttime overwatering and poor aeration. We also apply pre-emergent herbicides on gravel paths to keep them weed-free for months.
Application Methods: Safety First
We choose the technique that minimizes risk to the inhabitants of the house:
Plant Endotherapy (Injections): We introduce the medicine directly into the tree's vascular system. It works as intravenous medicine for trees: the product circulates with the sap and protects for months without contaminating the soil or affecting bees.
Advantages: Zero drift (does not pollute the air), harmless to beneficial fauna (bees), and safe for areas with children or pets.
Localized Spraying: We use precision backpacks and cannons, always respecting "Safety Periods" (time that must pass before entering the treated area) to guarantee your health.
For community estates and large properties, it is mandatory to keep a record of the treatments performed. We take care of filling out the Exploitation Logbook and managing the disposal of empty containers through authorized SIGFITO points, strictly complying with the law.
