Chimney Animal Removal Services We Provide
Squirrels
These furry little ones do not often make their nests in chimneys, but they do manage to do so on occasion. Some squirrels have been known to crawl inside a damper and break it, fortunately, they are removable. Typically they will scurry down a chimney when there is a bad storm to take cover. After storms pass, squirrels tend to find themselves trapped inside the chimney.
Raccoons
As seen here in the photo, we frequently remove families of raccoons from chimneys. In this specific job, we were able to remove and relocate a mother and her five cubs safely and quickly. Raccoons do carry a number of diseases, it is dangerous for you to attempt to remove them, as well as a safety concern to operate your fireplace. Though have the ability to climb out, there are occassions where they get stuck in the chimney flue.
Birds
Nesting happens very often in many chimneys. Odds are in your lifetime, you will have some kind of bird in your chimney. Birds cause a number of problems in the chimney, normally starting with a draft issue or a bad smell. Some birds, however, carry Histoplasmosis, a fungus carried in the feces of birds and bats. Histoplasmosis often causes fever, cough, fatigue, chills, headache, aching, and chest pain. If you have any of these symptoms, speak to a doctor, and give us a call.
Bats
Like many animals, Bats are drawn to chimneys because they are dark, enclosed places. Bats, like birds, carry a lot of diseases and fungus, including Histoplasmosis and more. Bats can be a danger to you as well as themselves, so please do not attempt to move them yourself. Unlike birds, bats cannot fly straight up causing them to become trapped.
Chimney Swifts
Chimney swifts are a special case when it comes to animal removal. They are a federally protected migratory bird, and they often roost in chimneys due to the easy grips on the wall. These birds roost vertically, clinging to the walls. Chimneys become ideal spaces because of protection from predators and the elements.
