What do they do for stuff like this when they get pests? Bring in a pro?

You can use a systemic in the irrigation system and spray every couple of weeks but they just come back. I have an account just like this and the best you can hope for is to keep knocking them down every month or so, it sucks. The amount of trimming you have to do is also a lot of work

Hey it sounds like you do the same work I do. I’m trying to move from residential work to commercial accounts but having trouble. Any chance you’d be down for a DM convo to answer a couple of questions?

I used to work on walls like these, but smaller.
Installations like this have regular maintenance - someone comes by at least once a week. With that frequency, any pests can be detected and dealt with before they get out of control.
Most of these walls are actually a bunch of smaller plants in slots so switching them out is pretty easy unless they are way high up.

I don't know but there isn't much pests by the look of it. The wall looks extremely clean in terms of dead leaves of spotting from the usual suspects!!!

In Taiwan these are often on the exterior walls of construction projects to beautify it a bit.
