If you live in Houston or the South Houston area and your trees are looking off — thinning leaves, weird webbing, sticky sap, or holes in the bark — there’s a good chance you're dealing with tree bugs. Insects love the Gulf Coast climate just as much as we do, but when they get into your trees, they can do major damage fast.
At All About Plant Healthcare, we’re trained to stop these pests in their tracks — and we do it the right way, with the experience, products, and techniques that work here in Texas.
🐛 Most Common Tree Bugs in the Houston Area
Here are the pests we’re battling daily across South Houston:
🐞 Aphids
Tiny but destructive. These soft-bodied bugs suck sap from leaves and leave behind a sticky substance called honeydew, which can attract mold and other pests.
🕷️ Spider Mites
Almost invisible, but they’ll turn your trees brown fast. They suck the life out of your leaves and spin silky webbing under branches.
🐛 Webworms
You’ll see big, nasty webs at the end of branches. They feed on the leaves inside those webs, leaving your tree defoliated and weak.
🪵 Borers
These are some of the most dangerous. They drill into the wood, cutting off nutrient flow and often killing entire limbs or the whole tree if not caught early.
🐜 Scale Insects
They look like bumps on your branches but are actually sucking insects. They damage the bark, invite mold, and attract ants.
🚨 Warning Signs You’ve Got a Bug Problem
✅ Curling, yellowing, or dropping leaves
✅ Webbing in tree canopies
✅ Small holes in bark
✅ Sticky residue on leaves or your car under the tree
✅ Ant trails going up the trunk
✅ Dead branches or slow growth
