Animal & Bird Removal
Safe, humane removal of birds, squirrels, and raccoons that have nested in an uncapped chimney.
An open flue looks like a hollow tree to a lot of wildlife, and chimney swifts, squirrels, and raccoons are the most common uninvited residents. Beyond the noise and mess, nesting material is a fire hazard and a blockage risk.
We remove animals humanely (chimney swifts are federally protected, so timing and method matter), clear nesting debris, and install a cap to prevent it from happening again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to just remove the nest myself?
Not recommended — some species (like chimney swifts) are federally protected, and improper removal can be both illegal and unsafe.
Will a cap definitely keep animals out for good?
A properly fitted cap with mesh screening is the most effective long-term prevention, yes.
