What's included
- Humane removal of birds, raccoons, squirrels, and nests
- Nesting-debris and blockage cleanout
- Odor and droppings cleanup
- Stainless cap installation so it can't happen again
An uncapped chimney is a perfect nesting spot, and in the spring we get a lot of Dayton calls about chimney swifts, raccoons, and squirrels. A nest is also a serious fire and blockage hazard.
We remove the animal and nesting material humanely, deodorize the flue, and — most importantly — install a cap so the next critter can't get in. Removal without a cap just invites the problem back.

Questions we get a lot
What should I do if there's an animal in my chimney?
Keep the damper closed and the fireplace doors shut so it can't get into the house, don't light a fire, and call us. We remove it humanely and cap the flue so it can't return.
How can I tell what animal is in my chimney?
Scratching and scrambling usually means a raccoon or squirrel; chirping or fluttering means birds, often chimney swifts in spring. Either way, the fix is the same: humane removal plus a cap.
There's an animal in my chimney right now — can you come today?
We prioritize animal calls and can usually get out same-day or next-day. Keep the damper closed and the fireplace doors shut, and call us at (937) 555-0142.
How do I keep animals out for good?
A properly sized stainless chimney cap with mesh sides. It lets smoke out and keeps birds, raccoons, and squirrels from ever getting in. We install one as part of every removal.
