Make sure if you are positive that you have an infestation in your trees that your sawyer or to be more PC Arborist knows about this. Additionally you may want figure out exactly what the infestation is before proceeding. After the trees are down the next step you take may be to treat the area surrounding where there trees where taken down with the appropriate insecticide. There are many lite creatures that can cause havoc with trees, and if you cut down their home and they get away they will move to a new home.
Taking these steps may add some to your overall cost of the project but unless you want to be in the same boat in another 10 years, make sure you deal with the full circle of the problem if you suspect an infestation of something.
