Box Treatment Program

Over the last few years, Box Blight and Box Caterpillar have become a common site in London gardens, with it only on the rise. Good plant husbandry and strong horticulture techniques can help reduce the risk of infection, but chemical treatments are still the best way to go–both as a preventative, and a treatment.We have developed a comprehensive Box Treatment Program, which combines 3 different chemical treatments–a systemic insecticide, and biological control, and a foliar feed, which all work in harmony to treat both Box Blight and Box Caterpillar.

The systemic insecticide forms the core treatment, with monthly spraying. Then a combined biological control and foliar feed are applied alternately on rotation every 4-8 weeks, depending on the needs of the season.

Treatment starts in late March/April, and lasts until October, and involves a monthly spraying program. Initial packages start from £94.00 (excl.VAT), and this covers all the chemical treatments throughout the season. This price would cover up to 10 square metres of Box (or equivalent with topiary etc.), and the price increases relative to the amount of Box above that. Labour is not charged as extra, as these treatments will be carried out during our regular monthly maintenance sessions in your garden.

Quotes can be arranged for a treatment program that is not part of a regular garden maintenance arrangement – please get in touch for details.
