Tree Treatments in Midland, TX

Midland trees live through long, hot summers, steady wind, alkaline soil, caliche close to the surface and watering limited by city schedules. Many shade trees come out of summer thinner than they went in, and stressed trees are the ones borers, bark beetles, mites and disease go after. Tejas Pest & Weed Control treats trees for Midland homes and commercial properties, alongside our pest control, weed control and lawn care. We're licensed through the Texas Department of Agriculture (TPCL 0791384) and have been working West Texas since 2018.

Midland is served from our Midland yard at 3112 E County Rd 139, Midland, TX 79706. It's a working yard, not a storefront, so call or text before you stop by: 432-934-5248 · office@tejaspwc.com.

What Heat, Drought and Caliche Do to Midland Trees

Most tree trouble here starts with stress, not with a pest:

• Heat and wind: wind pulls moisture out of leaves fast, so scorched edges and a thin upper canopy are common by August.

• Caliche and shallow roots: caliche keeps roots in a shallow band that dries out quickly.

• Alkaline soil and iron chlorosis: high-pH soil can lock up iron and other micronutrients. Leaves turn yellow while the veins stay green.

Common Tree Problems in Midland

• Borers on elms, oaks and ash: look for sawdust, small holes or oozing sap on stressed trunks and limbs.

• Bark beetles on pines: Afghan (Eldarica) and other landscape pines under drought stress can draw pine engraver beetles. Watch for pitch tubes, boring dust and needles fading at the top.

• Mites and scale: dusty or stippled leaves, fine webbing, sticky honeydew or bumps on twigs.

• Pecans: heavy feeders that often show nutrient problems in alkaline soil.

• Mesquite: tough in drought, but stressed mesquite can still get borers and branch dieback.

Tree Treatments We Offer in Midland

We look at the trunk, limbs, leaves and root zone first and explain what we see. Depending on the tree, treatment can include:

• Trunk injections: small capsules at the base of the trunk feed treatment into the tree's water flow, with no spray drift.

• Soil injections: deep-root treatment placed where roots can reach it, even in compacted soil.

• Wood borer treatment for stressed shade trees and pines.

• Mite treatments for speckled, dusty or bronzed leaves.

• Disease and fungus treatments for leaf spots, cankers and dieback.

• Malnutrition support for yellowing leaves.

• Foliar and systemic treatments, including canopy spray when leaf pests are active.

Not every declining tree can be saved; treatments work best while a tree is still alive and defending itself, so earlier is better. More on our Tree Services page.

Fall and Spring Timing

Injected and soil treatments move through a tree with water. In late fall, while leaves are still on and before a hard freeze, the tree can still take treatment up; once it's dormant, uptake slows way down. Spring, after leaf-out, is the other main window.

Watering Trees Under Midland's Rules

Roots spread past the branch tips, and short lawn watering rarely reaches them. On allowed days, slow, deep watering at the drip line works best. Please check the City of Midland's current watering rules for your address. Keep mulch a few inches off the trunk.
