Hampton, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/03/2017 -- Community members in the Chesapeake area are getting a lesson in dendrology as Tarzan Tree Service helps to educate the population on the importance of tree removal in the Chesapeake region.

Though many homeowners in the area may not be aware, dead and sick trees provide multiple health risks to residents living in the area. Dead and dying trees can attract and provide a perfect habitat for mold, fungus, and mildew to flourish, leading to increased rates of allergy attacks in residents surrounding the area. These dead trees can also provide homes for pests such as mice, chipmunks or rats, leading to infestation of homes and communal areas over time.

If you suspect that your tree is dead or unhealthy, Tarzan Tree Service recommends that residents check their trunk for bark damage, one of the most common signs of a dying tree. Residents may remove a small piece of bark from the trunk of their tree, and watch to see whether or not it is replaced by a new layer within the following week. If it is not, the tree is likely in poor health.

Residents are advised not to attempt to remove large or dead trees themselves, as this poses a significant risk to untrained professionals. Tarzan Tree Service has seen firsthand the dangers that improper tree removal can cause. Amateur attempts to fell trees have resulted in injury and property damage across the nation; residents who are in need of tree service in Chesapeake are advised to call 757-204-1390 or visit http://www.tarzantreevb.com instead of taking on the task themselves.
