With our chimney animal removal in Odessa, TX, the little critters in your chimney will be relocated back to where they belong… in the wild.
Federal Regulations On Protected Species
Chimney swifts can be annoying when the young hatch. Many residents complain about the chirping noises these hungry birds make. The United States’ Humane Society prohibits the removal of the protected species. We cannot come and remove Chimney Swifts from your chimney. Other animals and birds can be removed safely. You should always hire a professional to inspect the chimney if you hear noises or believe there is an animal in the chimney.
Although some species are protected, there are many solutions to safely removing them and preventing them from returning to nest in your chimney. This is where our chimney animal removal service in Odessa, TX comes in.
After the young have left the nest in the fall it is recommended that you call a chimney sweep expert or animal control to remove the nests and install a chimney cage, cap or cowl. This will prevent any animals from entering and nesting in the chimney pots.
