Virginia Insect & Arthropod Pests: Spider Mites

Timber Works Tree Care
November 23, 2022

All of us probably recognize common house spiders. However, property owners should also study their close cousins, the spider mites. Although minute, spider mites can have a disastrous impact on a property and devastate once-healthy plants. So, learn what spider mites are, how to find them, and how to recognize infestations. Then, hire a professional local tree service to inspect your trees and get the insect issue under control.

Timber Works Tree Care is such a service, offering a range of tree care options to property owners in Bull Run, VA. Our licensed and insured team of tree specialists offers free estimates, safety inspections, and consultations. Although we do not offer pest control, we provide invasive plant species control, especially for large swaths of land. Contact us at (540) 692-9606 or fill out an online form for more tree care information.

Below, we describe spider mites, how to find them, and how to control them:

What Are Spider Mites?

Spider mites are tiny pests that resemble spiders and feed on the sap of plants. Their long, sharp mouthparts can penetrate the leaves of host plants and draw nutrients from the cells within. Severe spider mite infestations can damage, stunt, and even kill full-grown trees.

Part of the Tetranychidae family, spider mites are arachnids rather than insects. Common species include the two-spotted spider mite, spruce mite, and southern red mite. Although small, mites reproduce quickly and grow their populations at exponential rates.

Where Can You Find Spider Mites?

Spider mites appear in almost all geographic areas, though they are most active in warm and dry climates. If your region is warm and dry year-round or seasonally, then your property may be susceptible to mite infestations. Additionally, these pests feed on hundreds of trees, shrubs, and other plant species. You can assume your garden, greenhouse, and yard could host these pests, especially during the summer.

Signs of Spider Mites

Spider mites are difficult to detect because of their minuscule size. To many of us, they may appear as a mass of small, moving dots. Therefore, the most effective way to identify a spider mite infestation is through indirect symptoms.

As these pests feed on a host plant, affected leaves develop a dotted or “speckled” look. Pale spots indicate areas of drained plant cells. The plant’s foliage may also show signs of leaf scorch, appearing bronzed or otherwise discolored. Also, mites often leave behind a spider-like webbing on the plant.

How to Control Spider Mites

Fortunately, you have some options to control spider mites. Since they are only threatening in numbers, you can mitigate damage by simply keeping their population in check. Schedule frequent inspections from a certified arborist to find and eliminate mites and their eggs.

Spider mites thrive on stressed plants, so take adequate care of your trees and remove weak or infested ones. Provide them with sufficient sunlight, irrigation, and protective, organic mulch. Finally, consider supplementary treatments like safe pesticides and the release of beneficial insects that prey on spider mites.

I highly recommend Timber Works Tree Care. I recently had several overgrown white pines and cypress trees removed and the stumps ground down. From meeting with the owner of the company for an estimate, to conversations with the crew on site to do the work, every person was polite and professional, and very knowledgeable.The crew arrived on site promptly, and took care of the job. I was very happy with the removal of the trees, and the stump grinding and the clean up of the property. And, the cost for the service was very fair and reasonable. Once again, I would for sure recommend this company.

This is my second time using Timber Works. It was a delight to watch them work. My trees look great and that nasty hornet's nest high in the sky is gone. Great job!

Timber works did a fantastic job at my house. I had a few trees leaning towards the house that made me lose sleep at night, including a large dead Ash. I contacted them and their office got back to me in a very timely manner.Scheduling was fast and easy. The turn around time from inspection, appraisal, confirmation, to the day of service was pleasantly faster than I expected. The Tree Care Adviser George came out to do a inspection, he was very professional and informative when discussing the job and he got me a same day quote.The two guys that came out for the service were awesome!, to say the least.😁 They did a wonderful job cutting everything in manageable pieces of wood and made me feel at ease with there professionalism.Good service is important to me, and the employees of Timber Works show they care about their job and enjoy what they do. The great attitude they display tells me a lot about this company and their commitment to fantastic customer service.Thanks to Timber Works and their fantastic workers, I can finally sleep better at night.I highly recommend them for any tree service.

This was an excellent company to work with from start to finish. We bought a new house with a lot of trees and were able to get Mac out before we moved in to assess the trees and give us recommendations for pruning and removal. We got an estimate the same day and were able to schedule the same week. We had six trees removed and the rest of the trees pruned and thinned. The guys were efficient and left the property clean. It looks so much nicer from the curb but also enhanced the view. Very happy and highly recommend Timber Works.

We have nothing but great things to say about our experiences with the team at Timber Works. We have had them to come out several times to help us with land clearing, tree and branch removal, and chipping projects, and they have always done a great job. They are knowledgeable, skilled at taking done trees safely and with minimal if any collateral damage to surrounding vegetation and structures, always work efficiently, and clean up thoroughly after the job is complete. We will continue to use Timber Works for any future tree removal projects we may have,

This company and every staff member that we have had contact with was the most professional, courteous, knowledgeable, prompt and friendly people that we have dealt with in a long time. We are always impressed with customer service especially when it is coming from a younger generation as this is hard to find.Everyone from the first visit to the last was pleasant and professional. We felt like everyone truly cared and took pride in their work. We felt like everyone strived to please us as their customer as far as what we wanted, expected and how we felt about the completed job. They truly wanted to do a great job!It is very hard to find companies and people of this nature!! Too often “people” complain but don’t take the time to compliment. Well this company/crew deserve to be recognized for the great people and employees that they are!!

These guys are great, on time, done when they said they would be done, cleaned up, left me completely blown away. If you have tree work that needs to be done calling anyone else is a waste of your time. I'm very hard to please, Timber Works took it way over the top, great job guys.

I've been living on a wooded lot for 28 years and have tried many tree service companies. None have satisfied me more than Timber Works. Their crews and staff are polite, professional and punctual. The clean up after the job is complete is fantastic. You can hardly tell there was any work done. I highly recommend using Timber Works Tree Care.

On 10/10/2023, a Timber Works Tree Care team consisting of Benjamin Runion, Shawn Vance and Ryan Roquet arrived at my residence at 0730. They were challenged to cut and removed several massive trees that fell across my newly paved driveway blocking traffic to my home. From the start this team definitely displayed outstanding teamwork, proficiency at their professions and were always safety conscious. At no time did I see them waste time not even for well deserved breaks. I would definitely highly recommend this company for hire.

Jane Elliot

1697036779

I’ve used Timber Works twice now. First time, they took down a large, dead tree that was too close to the house. They employed state of the art robotics and had it down quickly and safely. Had enough confidence in them to call them back. Second job was taking out dead evergreens (thanks to the deer), tall, overgrown or dead trees threatening the fence and shed, and maintenance of other trees on the property. Again, the crew took care of everything and by noon were done. They took away the debris, leaving the property clean.I recommend Timber Works highly. The team is professional, respectful, and trustworthy.

Roger Bolland

1697032483

I like everything about Timber Works. From the initial contact, the prompt response in setting up the date and time to assess the work needed, prompt estimate and scheduling of the work to be done. The guys were here exactly when they said they would be and got right to work after checking details of the work. I am also impressed with how safety conscious everyone at the job site are ie: using the proper equipment, knowing where everyone on the site is before moving equipment ...Would never hesitate to recommend Timber Works!

The Timber Works Team did a great job. They got our trees down and our entire yard cleaned well before the end of the day.

Randall Runk

1696273980

I have used Timberworks multiple times over the past three years. Their crews are amazingly efficient and skilled. I find their pricing to be extremely competitive. I doubt that there is any other tree company that can match their quality and value.

Barbara Hughes

1696180244

I am a happy, happy customer! TimberWorks helped push the mountain woods back from my small home and sheds by taking down some sizable trees in decline and removing brush. In one area, they limbed a large tree, and cleared and ground stumps and old logs left from a previous cutting. In another area (pics), a firepit was sitting unused because it was simply overgrown by trees and branches ... the crew made sure the area was made cleaner, more open, and safer for use. Their work made my whole property look clean and feel airier. With such efficient, personable, and professional crew, I highly recommend the company to conservatively assess and address timber needs with competitive pricing. So pleased.

Nicholas Proctor

1695408471

These men came out and did a fantastic job. They took down about 17 tall cedars and a couple black walnut trees. All were very tall. I was very impressed with how they took them down. Each tree was put down exactly where they wanted. Didn't touch any of the neighbors decks or any flower pots or anything else. The clean up was great. Not a leaf or limb left. This was totally a professional job. Would recommend them to anyone.

Timber Works did two jobs for us in the past week. The first was to clear out a stand of pines and a large invasive Russian Olive growth, and to also clear timber and create hiking and 4x4 paths and a 1/4 acre camping area in our back 7 acres of woods. Using a SkidSteerer, it was all done in a day despite several fairly steep gradients. We have much more space, and the paths are wonderful, allowing us and our many grandchildren (and our resident wildlife) to roam throughout the difficult terrain.The 2nd job was to remove 5 large and dangerous dead trees, all of which were leaning into a meadow where we plan to build a treehouse and install a zipline. They felled the trees expertly and safely in one afternoon. All of the workers were easy to communicate with and very respectful of our goals, which they all met.The owner of the company made the estimate himself and appreciated all of my concerns and plans. The office staff were courteous and communicated times well in advance, as well as reminders both the day before the work and an hour prior to arrival. All equipment was moved around with knowledge of underground water, waste, and propane lines to prevent breakage and, except for the desired outcomes, without any trace of their having been there.I’d recommend Tree Works to anyone and am quite happy with every step of their process.

When was the last time a company showed up an hour early to get to work?? Well, today the Timber Works crew showed up early with 4 trucks, a wood chipper, a tractor and 7 guys ready to work! They cleared 20-30 downed trees, 5 massive piles of branches from our winter ice storm on High Knob Mountain and also took down a 50ft dead tree next to my new home. They did a fantastic job and we even negotiated a little extra work to knock down 4 other dead trees and turn them into wood chips! This is a 1st class company and I look forward to bringing them back in the fall to fell the last 125ft tall dead Ash tree in the back yard. Thank You to Ben and his crew for a fantastic job!

Timber Works is an excellent company to work with. We have used them several times in our yard to remove and prune trees. They are very responsive with all inquiries. Mac came out to review the project and provided a quote by the end of the day. The team that removed a tree for us and trimmed another tree arrived on-time, introduced themselves, and were extremely professional! Safety is clearly a priority for this company. They took great care to make sure they didn't disturb any of our other plantings. They removed the tree, limbs and debris from our property once completed the project.

Entire process, from estimate to finish, was just excellent! The job was to remove 8 large dead/dying trees (with 2 largest near house), forest mulch roughly an acre of fairly dense young trees, clear brush from near house and along ~500’ long driveway, etc. The Timber Works team was equipped with the equipment and skills needed to do the job both safely and efficiently. And, in addition to this, and being careful not to damage anything (eg, house, well, septic field), they were also very professional, courteous, and fast (~4.5hrs). TW earned my future business.

Contacted TimberWorks after trying a different company that gave me an absurd estimate and then never showed up. TimberWorks was VERY professional - arrived for the estimate on time and gave me a detailed estimate and stayed in communication until the work was complete. Job was done expertly - very happy with the result, so much so that I recommended them to my parents who needed tree work and they were happy with the work done as well. Will definitely use again for future needs.

We had about 17 trees on a property that we needed to know the health of the trees. George was helpful online answering questions we had. But Jack, the owner, came out to evaluate the trees and confirmed that the trees were alive and not dead. Jack was very knowledgeable of trees and answered many questions I had. Did not rush the visit! Even though we did not use their services for tree removal or pruning, I was so impressed with their free evaluation - that I had to review them. Awards from Angie's list were very impressive also. Recommended due to this visit.

I worked as a PM for one of the largest Insurance Restoration contractors in the tri-state area. I've called on Timber Works on several emergency occasions to remove trees off of homes and businesses and they have always done excellent work. I can't tell you what a difference it makes when your clients call you back to thank you for sending them. I cannot say enough about walking into a job site after they've finished.... I keep looking for the vacuums in their trucks because the place is so stinking clean. I wish all of my vendors were like Timber Works, my life would be much easier.

Had several trees pruned that were growing over our patio and yard. The crew was quick, efficient and professional and even cleaned up all the leaves that were already on the ground before they got there. Highly recommend!

Timber Works did a great job of removing a half dead Maple tree in our backyard. They worked quickly and efficiently, paying attention to safety. They even cleared up the leaves that were there before they got to us. I would definitely recommend them!

The Timber Works crew removed two large oak trees and ground one of the stumps on my property. They started promptly at 8 am and were finished by 1 pm. They were very professional, safety conscious and used modern, well-maintained equipment which allowed the safe removal of these large, tall trees which were close to my house and my neighbor's house. All debris was chipped and hauled away and cleanup of the area was great. I couldn't be more satisfied with their work.

I would highly recommend this business! This is one of the few businesses I’ve worked with recently who were on time, had GREAT communication skills, did a fantastic job, and had stellar cleanup! They answered all questions easily, were polite, and got the job done quickly, yet safely. Great job!

Linda Kidwell

My own observations were utter astonishment at the speed, efficiency, and care with which Ben and his crew did the work. I spoke with Ben several times. He made sure that I was getting what was agreed upon and that I understood what was going on, as it was happening. He and the other fellows even impressed the neighbors! The noise is a drawback, but nothing could be done about that, given the machinery necessary to get the job done.All in all, great job, Timber Works!!!

The folks from Timber Works were great - from the first call, through the estimate process and to the completion of the work, everyone was professional, personable, punctual, and just really good at their jobs. I would highly recommend them for any tree work you might have.

Second time I've used this company, both times they have exceeded expectations. The crews have been absolute professionals, and do an amazing clean up job. Would highly recommend.

Our HOA (Frederick Woods) used TimberWorks to cut and remove 7 sizable trees. They also ground the stumps. In addition, we had them clear both sides of a drainage swale for several hundred feet. It was thick with mature brush. We then these guys show up it's a tree removal army. They show up with all the equipment needed to do the job and plenty of manpower. It is obvious that safety is paramount with this group. Everyone onsite utilizes proper PPE. They have done work for me personally and quite frankly, I can't imagine using anyone else. THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE!

Paul Evans

1665505916

We needed a large oak removed that was in the middle of our driveway within 15 ft of our electrical box and about 30 ft from our house so our concern was safety. While Timberworks quote was slightly higher than the rest, George explained how the job would be done and what equipment would be used and did it in a professional manner. We made the right choice because it was clear that his team knew what they were doing and did a great job. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again.

Jason Liu

Everything was great from estimate to removal of the trees and clean up. Everyone I talked to was kind and courteous.

We had a cherry tree that was a real issue. Dead, dead, dead! Timber Works came out and removed it quickly, efficiently, and safely. We were very pleased. We also got firewood out of it. We highly recommend them.

Lena Neal

I contracted with Timber Works TreeCare to cut down and remove 2 dead trees in my yard. The day before the work was to be done, I received a confirmation email from Joe, reminding me of the time they would arrive.The crew showed up on time and all were courteous and professional.. My husband and I were so impressed by the well orchestrated operation and communication between the crew.They worked hard for several hours, cleaning up as they went along. They used all safety precautions to ensure the process of cutting down the trees would not damage power lines, septic field and surrounding healthy trees.They did an amazing job for a fair price. I highly recommend this company. Would 100% use them again for future tree services.

Austin Feliciano

1664300743

They were trimming both trees and grinding up the stump at the same time. The team was on time, professional, fast, and they cleaned up after themselves. I will use them again.

Adam

Great company, they were in and out taking down 4 locusts in 2 hours including grinding the stumps. They completely cleaned up like they were never here. Price was good and quality was even better. Would definitely be my first call for tree experts

Cindy K

1663683491

Timber Works Tree Care crew did a wonderful job trimming and pruning the trees on our property. We couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the work completed today. This is the first time we have needed tree service at our new home and we’re so glad we chose this company. Their prices are very reasonable, they are efficient, our trees look great, and they clean up as they go. We will definitely call on them for future work. We highly recommend using this company, you won’t be disappointed.

Teri Madden

This is the second time we've used Timber Works and I am just as impressed this time as I was the last time a few years ago. The crew is beyond polite and were extremely careful not to destroy anything in their path. They cleaned up all messes from the tree before they left, including the debris on the street from the grinder. I definitely would use them again and recommend them to anyone who wants a professional job. Thanks to all the crew-----they are the BEST!!!!

Julia Y

1661531892

The gentlemen who took care of our tree trimming and stump removals did quality work, and were polite and professional. We will certainly use them again for future tree work!

Brian Hoard

1660674030

These guys are rock stars. They showed up with the best equipment, a team of at least 6 or 7 guys, and did everything we asked them to do. Removed several trees, stump grinded 2 trees, and trimmed back a tree from the house. They wore safety equipment and did everything including clean up in just a few hours. I've never seen tree people be so high tech. They were communicating with headsets under their helmets. So great!

Michael Jones

1658860358

I can’t express enough the professionalism of the team at Timber Works Tree care. From the first day I met with Mac to go over the options, the professional advice, the emails with the office team and finally the team itself that arrived on time as stated to remove the three dead trees, four other trees; including ones for my neighbor. All of which were in a shared back yard with limited access.
The removal team was safety oriented, fast, had great communication with all my neighbors and did an amazing job. They took care to do as little damage as possible to my neighbor’s yard, cleaned up more that I expected and was done and out before we knew it.
I highly recommend calling them for you tree removal and other tree care needs. Their prices for 8 trees, that were 60’ in height, totaled less than another company’s quote for just two trees. Adding to this, all our emails and calls were answered through out the whole process in less than 48 hours.

To everyone at Timber Works; thank you so much. I could not be happier with the work done today.

Once again, Timber Works did an excellent job. They pruned the trees exactly as I directed and then made additional improvements. They even cut back some large branches (which served as a launching pad for squirrels to the roof) for free.Highly recommend using this business.

Emika Burke

We are so pleased with Timberworks' service and highly recommend them to friends and neighbors.We moved to a new property with what appeared to be a large dying maple in the yard. We first had Timberworks out to consult and give us an estimate. I appreciated the time they took to assess the dying tree, check other trees on our property, and even the advice to first see if our power company would cut back the tree because of its proximity to their lines.We weren't quite ready to pay for the project, but Timberworks reached out a few months later just to check on us as they were doing work in our area. We were ready this time! After seeing the crew in action, I don't think we could have hired a better company.The crew arrived early with perfect equipment for our job site (somewhat narrow access) that looked as well taken care of as all their safety gear. Because my young children were enthralled by the machinery, we watched most of the project, and we got to see everyone working seamlessly and efficiently to carefully dissect the tree without damaging anything. It was an awesome example for my kids to see. They cleaned up the site beyond what I expected and left us a beautiful pile of wood chips for our garden. On the way out, one of the crew noticed a shrub stump I'd been working on removing on my own and offered to yank it out. He managed that in about 30 seconds! After the project, a neighbor called us to marvel at the crew and find out the company name.Thank you, Timberworks!

We've used Timber Works for help removing trees/limbs after storms for a few years now. They are always responsive and get here amazingly fast. We just had a huge snow storm, and they made it out to our house the next day to take care of a split tree limb. They are so nice, professional, and caring. Highly recommend!

Timber Works removed two large Maple trees from our front yard. They were professional, polite, very hardworking and quick I would highly recommend this company for any work you need done.

Ann Drinkwater

Have utilized Timber Works for three separate jobs over the past couple of years. Each time they employed the highest quality and customer-focused approach possible. Extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with! I would not take a chance on using another tree company.

J Hubbard

1627585638

These guys are super responsive and did what they said they would do. Removed 2 big trees in my front yard, ground out the stumps, and hauled everything off. I would use them again.

Susan Zimmer

1624107631

I highly recommend Timber Works. They were responsive, timely and efficient. I was very impressed from the first conversation I had with their team. I live in a crowded typical community and with their large trucks there were still able to be discreet, efficient and neat with their work. They were in and out quickly and didn't leave a mess behind. The workers were respectful of people and children walking around making sure the sidewalks were clear and no debris went outside their designated area. I highly recommend Timber Works!

Random Stuff

1623351269

Very professional and fast. Even if you're on a budget there are options to cut costs and they were offered early in analysis. For me I'm on 21.6 acres and several options simply disposed of the deadwood out of sight on my own property. They handled that exceptionally well and saved a lot. Thank you!!(I wish I could rent your stump grinder by the day it was quiet and amazing. Even exposed/nuisance roots were turned to sawdust in minutes.)Very much worth it. I've had to have trees removed back in Maryland at my prior home and their pricing is realistic and competitive. Above that, superior professionalism during trying/covid times.

We used Timber Works to remove a 35 foot Oak tree and grind the stump in our front yard. It was located next to utility lines and great care was taken to avoid any damage. The crew was extremely professional, efficient and did a great job cleaning up the yard and street at the conclusion of the job. They were competitively priced with other major tree service companies. I highly recommend this company and we will certainly call on them again if we need additional tree services.

We had an old tree line in a a field cleaned up, old cattle fence removed, brush cut down and a field mowed. They did such a good job!! They took great care of the yard and cleaned up so well after the job was done. Highly recommended. We will definitely use them again!

You could never ask for better service. Jack (the owner) is responsive and so great to work with!! Joe (office staff) is always so pleasant. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! Our yard looks so beautiful!!!! We love it!!!

Richard Williamson

I got three bids to remove an Oklahoma Redbud from my front yard. Timber Works was actually the lowest by far, which initially made me a little leery because the other two were fairly close. After meeting Jack, the owner, it sealed the deal. He told me the price up front, looked me in the eye and gave me a firm handshake. My wife said the crew wasted no time whatsoever, cleaned up very well and didn’t leave a trace. If I had more work for them, I wouldn’t hesitate, and neither should you. Very professional outfit, very easy to deal with, and I saved $500.

Cecelia Geller

1593458979

The entire team are very respectful, professional, and know exactly what they are doing. We were quoted a fair price for the amount of work completed and will definitely return for more work.

Debra Walker

1585607787

Timber Works trimmed/removed overgrown branches on three trees in my yard. It was obvious they know their business from the moment a representative came by to give an estimate on the work I needed. He recognized the importance of removing branches for a healthier tree rather than “topping off” as another less experienced company suggested. Their estimate was also significantly less than the other company. Work was performed exactly as promised and my yard was cleaned of all debris. I will definitely call on them again in the future.

Romona Ashby
