Why Clearwater Homeowners Call Us
Animal removal from a chimney gets birds, squirrels, raccoons, bats or nests out of the flue and seals the top so they cannot return. In Clearwater our crew checks what is living there, removes it humanely and within wildlife rules, clears the nest and droppings, then fits a screened cap. The fireplace stays off until the flue is clear.

Signs You May Need Chimney Animal Removal
An open flue looks like a hollow tree to a lot of animals. Birds, squirrels, raccoons and bats move into chimneys, and they bring nests, droppings and noise. We get them out humanely, clear the debris, and close the top with a screened cap so the next one cannot get in.
- Scratching, chirping or rustling in the chimney
- Twigs, leaves or nest material in the firebox
- A strong animal or ammonia smell
- Smoke backing up on the first fire of the season
Birds, bats and protected species
Some animals that use chimneys are protected. Chimney swifts are a migratory bird covered by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so an active nest stays until the birds move on, and Florida's wildlife commission does not allow bat exclusion during the bat maternity season. When we find protected animals, we tell you what can be done now and what has to wait, and we close the chimney as soon as it is allowed. Bat in chimney removal is done by exclusion, letting the bats leave and blocking their return, outside the maternity season.
Raccoon or squirrel in chimney
Raccoons and squirrels climb in from the top and often nest on the smoke shelf. A trapped animal may fall into the firebox. Keep the damper and any glass doors closed so it cannot get into the house, and do not light a fire to drive it out. We remove animals from the top or the firebox with the right tools, then clear the nest.
Bird nest in chimney removal and cleanup
Nests block the flue and are highly flammable. After the animals are gone, we remove the nest, sweep out droppings and debris, and check the damper and smoke shelf for damage. Bird removal from chimney flues ends the same way: a screened chimney cap is the long-term fix, and most homes need nothing else once one is in place.
