How can we help?
We will provide a free estimate if the problem or
pest is readily known. Many problems can co-exist and some problems are not so
obvious. If investigative work is needed, i.e. research, samples taken to
pathologist or photos taken we will charge a small fee as this is considered part of the
treatment. We can also direct you to a plant pathologist at NMSU so you can do this
part yourself. We can then provide a free estimate and the chemical treatment once
the cause is discovered.
