Tree Service Case Study

Removing an Ant-Infested Tree Near Client’s Home

This project involved a challenging tree removal due to an ant infestation and the tree’s close proximity to the client’s home. The tree was causing significant concern due to the risk of pests invading the home, as well as the potential for structural damage. Our team stepped in to safely remove the tree, ensuring the client’s home was protected from future risks.

Customer's Situation and Needs

The client had a large tree close to their home, heavily infested with ants that were beginning to spread into the surrounding yard and potentially the house. Additionally, the overgrown branches posed a risk of roof damage during storms. With both pest and structural issues at hand, the client needed a reliable solution to remove the tree safely.

Chosen Tree Service Solution

After assessing the tree’s location and infestation, our team decided on a complete tree removal. The close proximity to the home required careful planning and precision to avoid any impact on the house or yard. By removing the tree, we eliminated the source of the ant infestation and significantly reduced the risk of roof or property damage in the future.

Project Details

The tree removal process began with a thorough safety assessment, as the tree’s proximity to the home and the extent of the infestation posed unique challenges. Our team used specialized equipment, including a bucket truck and rigging system, to ensure each section was removed in a controlled manner. To prevent further spread of the ants, we treated the area around the stump and ensured all debris was cleared promptly.

Special Techniques and Considerations

Due to the infestation and close quarters, we implemented several additional safety techniques:



Close Proximity Techniques

Used section-by-section removal to prevent limbs from impacting the house.



Pest Control Measures

Applied treatment around the stump area to stop the spread of ants post-removal.



Precision Rigging

Deployed rigging equipment to safely lower sections without risking nearby structures.

Immediate Benefits to the Client

With the tree removed, the client’s property saw immediate improvements:



Reduced Risk of Pest Issues

The ant infestation source was eliminated, reducing the risk of further spread into the home.



Protection from Roof Damage

The overhanging branches that posed a threat to the roof during storms were completely removed, providing peace of mind.
