Hemlock Rust Mites

Winters cold weather did not kill out the Hemlock Rust Mite. Rust mites are active and it would be good to be out scouting for rust mites during this beautiful weather. Even with temperatures supposed to cool down, the rust mites will remain active and possibly worsen. Go to the following website for more information on Hemlock Rust Mite and the thresholds to use in determining if you need to treat.
