Treatment against pine processionary: endotherapy
We know how to eliminate the pine processionary, caterpillars and pockets
How to kill and eliminate the pine processionary?
Like so many other pests, the key factor to carry out good control and effective treatment against the processionary is to know the biological cycle of the insect. That's why we know that from September to November is when we have to start controlling this pest. At these times, the butterfly has already placed its eggs in the needles of the pine trees to begin its complete biological cycle. The ideal time to carry out the endotherapy treatment against the processionary is from the month of September, when the caterpillars are small and weak and we can eliminate them more easily. For this we use endotherapy, which is a system that does not harm the environment, as if a treatment to fumigate pine trees could be. If we delay the treatment against the processionary (endotherapy) until we see the pockets hanging from the pine trees, the caterpillars will already be very strong and large, making them more difficult to eliminate. That's why we warn you not to wait to see the processionary bags in the pines.

New endotherapy system against pine processionary
How does endotherapy treatment against processionaria work?
We install a device that injects its content into the vascular system of the pine, achieving a more effective and homogeneous distribution and action of the product inside. The product is discharged and absorbed by the pine in less than 3 hours. The processionary caterpillars, in their larval phase, ingest the product directly from the pine needles, causing them to die when they are weaker.
The endotherapy system against processionary is composed of:
Connector Pressurized bottle that is injected into the pine trunk.

More sustainable
Pine endotherapy is a treatment that prevents exposure to chemicals and safety periods in the treated areas to people and animals.
More effective
The endotherapy treatment of pine attacks the caterpillar when it is small and weaker, making its elimination easier.

More savings
