Whether it is the result of storm damage or disease, a dead tree is more than just an eyesore. If you don’t schedule tree removal services quickly, it could easily lead to several other problems for your property. The following are just a few of the reasons why you should never wait to take care of tree removal.

Top 3 Reasons to Get Rid of Dead Trees Immediately

1. Attractive to Pests

A dead tree may not look very nice to you, but the rotting wood is quite attractive to pests like termites and rats. When pests begin nesting on your property, it’s only a matter of time before they get inside your home, where they can cause serious damage.

2. Disease Risk

If your tree died because of a disease, it might pose a contamination risk for other trees in your yard. Mildew and mold, in particular, can spread quite quickly. Some tree diseases can also affect flowers and bushes growing near the affected forestry, so remove the dead tree before your the rest of your yard is infected.

3. Fall Hazard

Above all, a dead tree presents a significant safety hazard. Weakened branches are more likely to come down during a storm, causing damage to your property—or a neighbor’s. If someone happens to be underneath the tree when a branch falls, it could cause serious injury. If the entire tree falls, it could create significant damage to your home, landscaping, or other belongings.
