How our pros handle chimney animals in Audubon Park
Watching the chimney top at dusk
Birds and bats that use a chimney tend to leave or return around dusk. Watching the chimney top from the yard at that time, with binoculars if you have them, can show whether something is flying in or out. Stay on the ground and keep your distance. What you see helps our specialists decide which rules apply and how the removal or exclusion should be timed for your Audubon Park chimney. Count what you see leave on two or three evenings, since a single sighting can mislead.
A blocked flue and carbon monoxide
A flue partly blocked by nest material may not carry combustion gases out of the house the way it should. A working carbon monoxide alarm near sleeping areas is a sensible precaution in any home with a fuel-burning appliance. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone outside and call 911 first. Chimney questions come after everyone is safe. Leave the fireplace unused until the flue has been cleared and checked from top to bottom. Test the alarm with its button after the chimney work, and replace its batteries as its maker directs.
When young animals are in the chimney
Young birds, bats or raccoons change the plan. Removing adults and leaving young behind, or sealing a chimney with young inside, leads to animals dying in the flue and an odor problem that follows. When young are present, the work waits for them to leave with the adults or is handled by a specialist. We confirm the chimney is empty before cleanup and capping. Young animals are also the reason the calendar matters so much in this work.
Silence does not mean the chimney is clear
When the noise stops, it is tempting to assume the animal has gone. It may have left, it may be sleeping, or it may have died in the flue. Even an empty chimney still holds the nest. We check before a cap goes on or a fire is lit, because closing the top on a living animal or lighting a fire under a nest both create new problems. A short look at the chimney top and the flue answers the question for certain, and the inspection is free.

Asked in Audubon Park about chimney animal removal
What if an animal is already inside my Audubon Park home?
Close interior doors to confine it, keep people and pets away and open an exterior door in that room if it is safe. A local wildlife service can help with the house, and we handle the chimney once the room is clear.
Do I get anything in writing after the work?
Yes. You get a written record of the work we did, including the cleanup and the cap we fitted. It is useful for your house file or when you sell.
