ENVIRONMENTAL PEST CONTROL 1 133 53RD COURT NORTH. UNIT A • WEST PALM BEACH. FLORIDA 33407 FAX • EMAIL: Date: December 16, 2014 To: Richard Kahn c/o Jeffrey Epstein From: John Schiller General Manager of Island Environmental Pest Control We visited Little Saint James Island, tJSVI from 12/8/14 to 12/12/14 for the purpose of evaluating the conditions of the landscape plantings around the island. This report is to inform you of our observations and recommendations. Our people met with Mr. Epstein a few times to discuss his concerns about the landscape plantings. He also asked for suggestions regarding plant material that provide more color and scent. There certainly are challenges with growing landscape plants on the island, namely constant high winds and aerosolized salt. Wild deer feeding on landscape plantings have also been a problem. In general, the landscape looks very good. Areca palm and other plantings have very dark green leaves and good color which indicates the richness of the soil, in particular, with the minerals magnesium and Iron. Other than salt/wind bum in some areas, most all of the landscape plantings appear to be growing well and are irrigated with high quality fresh water through the reverse osmosis system used extensively throughout the Island. Our people met several times with the island's landscape manager Chris to ask him about his cultural practices and get his perspective on what works and doesn't work on the island. He was very helpful regarding understanding the everyday variables of the Island. One of the main problems discovered is an insect the islanders call whitefly but it is really a white colored scale insect commonly called Ensign Scale. We saw the Ensign Scale on a variety of different landscape plantings including bougainvillea, sea grapes and native trees. Chemical control of the scale is listed below along with rotation of chemicals which is always necessary so the insect doesn't build a resistan
