Is stump removal worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, stump removal is worth the investment. It costs an average of <b>$400</b> to remove a stump, but you will likely avoid other more expensive issues, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpenter-ants-vs-termites.htm">termite and carpenter ant infestations</a>, which can cost upward of <b>$1,500</b> to treat professionally. If termites or ants attack the rotting stump—and they likely will—they could move to your primary structure after the stump is consumed. So, you could incur structural damage to your home as a result, which is even more costly and potentially dangerous.</p></div>

Q: What is the best tool to remove stumps?

• <div><p>What tools you&rsquo;ll need to remove a tree stump will depend on the method you choose. Generally, a shovel, mattock or pickax, chainsaw, garden shears, and a wheelbarrow will help, but do your research once you choose your DIY strategy. You should also be sure to add safety supplies like goggles, ear protection, gloves, and more to your list, no matter which method you choose. </p></div>
