Animals frequently seek shelter in chimneys, creating dangerous blockages and health hazards. Our humane animal removal services safely remove unwanted guests and prevent their return while complying with wildlife protection laws.
Common Chimney Visitors
Chimney swifts (a protected migratory bird), raccoons, squirrels, and birds commonly nest in chimneys. Signs include scratching or chirping sounds, strong odors, debris falling into the fireplace, or smoke backing up when you use your fireplace.
Humane Removal Process
We identify the species present—this is critical as chimney swifts are federally protected and cannot be removed during nesting season (May-August). For other animals, we use humane exclusion techniques that allow animals to exit but not re-enter. Baby animals are carefully removed and reunited with mothers when possible.
Nest and Debris Removal
After animals have departed, we thoroughly clean your chimney of nesting materials, droppings, and debris. This material is highly flammable and can harbor parasites, so proper removal is essential.
Prevention
The best solution is preventing animal entry in the first place. We install properly fitted chimney caps with mesh screening that keeps animals out while allowing proper ventilation. Cap installation is included with our animal removal service.
Health Considerations
Animal droppings can carry histoplasmosis and other diseases. Our technicians use appropriate protective equipment and sanitize affected areas as needed.
