Lace bugs damage leaves, weaken trees, and ruin your curb appeal quickly. Our ISA-certified arborists offer customized lace bug treatments that target active infestations and protect vulnerable trees and shrubs. We serve the Fort Worth area and its surrounding homes and businesses.
Discoloration, yellowing, or white stippling on leaves typically points to lace bugs. These insects feed from the underside of leaves and drain plant tissue. The damage reduces plant health and quickly affects curb appeal, but early lace bug treatment limits long-term stress.
Lace bugs measure about one-eighth of an inch and have clear, lace-like wings. There are over 150 species of lace bugs, but in Texas, you commonly see the oak lace bug, along with hawthorn, cotton, and lantana species. Each targets specific plants and spreads quickly without professional treatment.
You can spot lace bugs by inspecting the underside of your plant’s leaves. These pests feed by sucking the fluid out of leaves, causing them to lose color and strength over time. Infestations often lead to patches of yellowing or browning foliage that eventually drop.
Leaf spot usually develops from a fungal infection, though bacteria, drought stress, chemical exposure, or insect damage can also trigger it. Fungal leaf spot forms in warm, wet conditions. Airborne spores settle on damp leaves and spread quickly when moisture is present.
Fungal spores need moisture to grow and spread. Heavy rain and prolonged damp conditions allow spores to thrive on leaves. This moisture buildup creates the right environment for leaf spots to form and spread across the plant.

Lace bugs require targeted treatments that remove active insects, eggs, and contaminated debris to stop re-infestation. Our arborists first remove the bugs by spraying water and then use chemical treatment to prevent further damage.
Lace bugs are small insects that feed on leaves, causing discoloration, spotting, and early leaf drop.
They are tiny, light-colored insects with clear, lace-like wings found under leaves. We see different types of bugs across Texas, including oak, hawthorn, cotton, and lantana.
They commonly infest oak, sycamore, ash, hawthorn, and lantana plants.
White or yellow stippling on leaves and black spots underneath signal lace bug activity.
Lace bugs are most active during warm months, especially late spring through summer.
Severe infestations weaken trees over time and increase stress, but early treatment limits long-term damage.
Yes, they can move between nearby host plants if not controlled early. Our team can provide you with the right treatment and aftercare support.
While DIY methods do work, they rarely stop infestations fully. Professional treatment provides better control and prevention, which is why you should call a trusted expert like Fort Worth Arborist Co.
Most treatments reduce activity quickly, with visible improvement as new healthy leaves start growing. However, each tree will respond differently to the treatment. We’ll track the progress and keep you updated.
