Chimney Animal Removal Services

Common Chimney Intruders

Chimneys provide attractive shelter for many animals seeking warmth, protection from predators, and nesting sites. Understanding which animals commonly enter chimneys helps us plan the appropriate removal strategy.

• Chimney swifts - federally protected migratory birds
• Squirrels - often fall in and become trapped
• Raccoons - climb down to nest, especially mothers with babies
• Birds - sparrows, starlings, and other species
• Bats - may roost in chimneys seasonally
• Snakes - occasionally enter seeking prey

Why You Should Never Smoke Animals Out

Starting a fire to drive animals from your chimney is dangerous and often illegal. It can cause chimney fires if nests are present, fill your home with smoke if the flue is blocked, and may violate wildlife protection laws. Deceased animals in your chimney create severe odor problems and attract insects. Always call professionals for safe removal.

Our Humane Removal Process

We use humane methods appropriate for each animal type. Live trapping allows us to relocate animals safely. For birds with nests, we may need to wait until young have fledged if protected species are involved. After removal, we thoroughly clean the chimney of nests, droppings, and debris, then install caps to prevent future intrusion.

Preventing Future Animal Problems

The best solution to chimney animal problems is prevention. A properly fitted chimney cap with mesh keeps animals out while allowing smoke to escape. We install quality caps that provide lasting protection against wildlife intrusion.
