Insect Control

keeping pests

under control

Insect problems can occur from time to time with any lawn or plant, even those closely monitored and for which meticulous care is given. Oftentimes, through no fault of the gardener or homeowner, extreme conditions in a particular season can bring about an increase in a certain type of pest. If you find yourself noticing insects and damage, or if you’re confused and uncertain because you can’t see the insect suspected of causing the problem, we encourage you to inquire at Petitti’s. Our associates are happy to help with the diagnosis and suggest an appropriate treatment to help you get rid of the problem pest, once and for all. Petitti’s carries the traditional and natural products you need to rid your plants of common Northeast Ohio insects like ants, aphids, bugs, beetles, caterpillars, wasps, weevils, and more. We have solutions for all kinds of plants including trees, shrubs, flowers, indoor houseplants, and tropical plants. Interested specifically in organic solutions for treating your edible herbs and vegetables? We have that, too!
