SUMMARY: Pine beetle pandemic in central Mississippi has led to an influx in demand for tree cutting services as the beetles are destroying pine trees due to an extreme drought. The beetles leave nothing behind but a carcass and homeowners are responsible for dead trees on their property. Both homeowners and tree cutting services emphasize the need to either treat affected trees or remove them to make room for new growth. The sustainability of the earth depends on planting new trees, and businesses are committed to reforesting areas affected by the pine beetle pandemic.
