Animal & Bird Nest Removal in Queens & Long Island
Birds, squirrels and raccoons often move into uncapped chimneys, and nests can block the flue completely. We remove animals and nesting material humanely, clean the flue and install a cap so it doesn't happen again.
What is animal & bird nest removal?
Uncapped chimneys are an easy home for birds, squirrels and raccoons — especially in neighborhoods with mature trees. Nests can block the flue completely and send smoke or exhaust into the home.
We remove animals and nesting material humanely, clean the flue and install a cap so it doesn't happen again. Some birds, such as chimney swifts, are protected, so timing may matter.
Warning signs
- Scratching, chirping or rustling in the chimney
- Twigs or debris in the firebox
- Unusual odors from the fireplace
- No cap on the chimney
