NEW PEST ALERT! Lecanium Scale on Cape Cod

Have you looked at your oaks lately? Notice the twigs near the branch tips. Do they have small, raised hard shells and do the leaves look blackened? If so, you have lecanium scale!

Each insect shell can have 1000 - 5000 eggs that will suck sap from the leaves and branches, severely harming and even killing your oaks.
