Attraction of Pests
Trees, whether dead, dying or still alive, always attract pests. Birds often move in and build their nests. Rats and termites are also likely to be attracted to trees. These pests are more likely to migrate to your home because they’re only a short distance away from your house.
Contraction of Contagious Diseases
Trees that are dying or are already dead as a result of tree diseases are likely to spread the disease to other trees nearby. Powdery mildew develops on tree trunks, leaves and branches. They make the leaves susceptible to chlorosis, losing their green color and thus turning yellow.
If you have flowers with such a condition planted underneath a tree, the diseasescan spread to other healthy, live plants and flowers.
The Tree Might Topple Over or Branches Fall
Weak branches are likely to fall as a result of strong winds or a storm. The fallen branches may cause damage to properties in your home or even those in your neighbor’s compound. They can also cause injury to people around.
Integrity of trees becomes compromised, especially if they are rotting or decomposing. If a tree falls, damage to properties in your home may occur. People around can also sustain injuries.
Trees damaged by other trees are dangerous and thus require highly skilled professionals for removal. After bad storms, trees are often laid in positions that pose danger to both properties nearby and your health. These trees can become tangled on other trees, structures or properties such as cars parked nearby.
Conducting an inspection regularly on trees around your home is important. Observe the base of the tree as a starting point. Look at what might happen at the base before trying to work your way up the tree. Look out for:
•Presence of heavy soil at the tree trunk’s base and underneath the canopy.
•Presence of fungi such as mushrooms at the base of the trunk. They are known to cause decay of the trunk.
•Presence of cracking, peelings and chippings at the bark of the trunk.
•Cavities present in the trunk and huge scaffold in the branches of the tree.
•Hanging or dead branches present in the tree.
•Twigs that are fine and lacks buds at their near ends of the branches.
