This relationship between uncontrolled vegetation and insects can be repeated in every case. Plants and animals are interdependent. Controlling the growth of brush and weeds, will control the insect and animal population. In most cases, where chemicals are used to control insects, the first chemical that should be used, is an herbicide.
Just as the destruction of large areas of forest lands in tropical areas destroys biodiversity in the area, the movement of some of these tropical plants into other countries can destroy the biodiversity of their new found home.
Believe it or not, grass and weeds can eat asphalt and concrete! Trees can destroy power and communication lines, and even stop a speeding locomotive. Vines can climb poles and stop transmission of power and communication as well.
We also provide green pest control services starting with our prevention services, and using botanical products proven to be the best on the market! This service, combined with information and services available through “Bugs And Weeds”, provide you with the most effective, least toxic pest system on the market!
Aside from the problems with water delivery systems and transportation, that is, infrastructure, these weeds pose a potentially far more devastating problem, that problem is environmental in nature, and has to do with biodiversity in particular.
We are talking serious, almost irreparable damage to eco systems, and it has gone global! A vine that might be fine in China, may swallow an entire forest in the Southern part of the United States! An aquatic fern may present no problems in it’s native South America, yet engulf rivers, ponds and lakes in the Southern U.S.
*Exotic plants move. They do not stay in the same area forever, and they have many means of locomotion.
*Each change in an ecosystem brings about other changes, which in turn, bring about other changes…
*These changes eventually effect the human population economically and in other ways.
What was once, a group of “non invasive” exotic landscape plants, have now become destroyers. It happened while we were sleeping. They seemed innocent enough, but something, or some things, have changed, and now we have some serious thinking to do, about an increasingly serious problem.

Burns Environmental Specializes in vegetation management services for preserving native species and native habitats as well as protecting infrastructures such as roads, power lines, pipelines, and industrial sites. Saving rain forests is important, preserving our own biodiversity is equally important! In fact, the greatest threat to our environment today is loss of biodiversity in any region!
Preserving our communication lines, power lines, pipelines, transportation, water, and waterways is important for industry, home, recreation, and food supply. Preserving biodiversity in our forests, rangelands, and waters is important to the health and continued function of our environment. This is why we are proud to be involved in the field of vegetation management!
We believe that there is a way to protect both our environment and biodiversity, and protect and preserve our infrastructure. One, without the other would produce havoc.
