A new threat has arrived—The Box Tree Moth has been detected in Michigan, putting your beautiful boxwood hedges at serious risk! These destructive pests can quickly strip your plants bare, leading to irreversible damage and even plant loss.


We visit your property to inspect your boxwood hedges, accurately diagnosing any infestations or plant health issues. Just like a doctor, we don’t diagnose over the phone—we need to see it firsthand.


After our inspection, we provide a clear, customized package of services based on your specific needs. You choose which treatments you’d like to move forward with—no pressure, just solutions.


If the timing is right and we have the necessary tools on our truck, we can treat your hedges immediately. If a follow-up appointment is required, we’ll schedule it at the optimal time for effectiveness.


Our Job doesn't stop at the treatment-- we ensure long-term protection with follow-ups and expert recommendations to keep your boxwoods thriving.

Thrilled with the work Austin from Ditch the Itch did at our house, pleased with how responsive and communicative he was from the start. We had a large space along our driveway filled with poison ivy and a
few random spots in our yard. He was thorough while walking our property checking for poison ivy and telling us about other invasive species we had. His treatments worked as planned and removal was great. Would recommend him to anyone looking to have poison ivy removed.

I was VERY happy with Ditch the ltch services. Austin was extremely knowledgeable!!!
He answered all my questions and then some. It has been four days and already the poison ivy is well on its way out. Couldn't be more excited.
I recommend Ditch the Itch to everyone. Two friends are ready to sign up to use them.
