Box tree caterpillar and webbing on damaged box foliage

The problem

Box tree caterpillar damage can spread quickly.

Box tree moth caterpillar can strip foliage from box hedging, topiary and established planting. Without timely treatment, valuable plants can become severely weakened and expensive to replace.


The solution

XenGuard makes treatment straightforward.

XenGuard is supplied as a 500g pack of box tree caterpillar treatment, supported by clear application guidance and specialist box plant care information.

How XenGuard Works

How our service works

Specialist care, from first inspection to ongoing protection.

XenGuard provides a clear, professional service for box hedging, topiary and established planting across the UK.

  1. 01

    We inspect

    We carry out a professional assessment, measure the box planting accurately, take soil moisture readings and remove visible caterpillars, larvae and webbing. After the visit, you receive a written condition and treatment report.

  2. 02

    We treat

    The initial visit has a one-time £25 call-out charge. Treatment is then priced at £1.50 per square metre, based on the measured area of box planting.

  3. 03

    We strengthen & monitor

    A second caterpillar treatment is carried out around 10 days later, followed by monthly visits during the relevant treatment period. Optional Granular Root Feed (£0.40/m²) and BoxElectrolyte foliar feed (£0.35/m²) can support healthier, thicker and greener growth and overall plant condition; neither is required for caterpillar control.

Voices

Trusted by gardeners and grounds teams.

“Saved us a fortune because of the quantity you get for the price. The product works great and exactly as intended. Lovely team as well.”
Landscaper — Bath
“We have a lot of box throughout the garden and were mortified when it started to go brown and die. We were referred to XenGuard by a friend. Great results after a couple of months. Spot on.”
Jonty — Malham, North Yorkshire
“We’ve got loads of box hedging, so having a larger pack rather than lots of smaller packets is much more practical for us and has saved us a lot of time and money.”
