Questions people ask
Questions about bird and insect nest removal
Why is a nest in my dryer vent a problem?
It blocks the vent, which can make the dryer overheat and start a fire. Stop using the dryer until the nest is out.
Can you remove any bird nest?
Not always. Many wild birds and their active nests are protected by law. Starlings, house sparrows and pigeons are not, and their nests can be removed.
A bird is stuck in my chimney. What do I do?
Close the fireplace doors or the damper, keep pets away and call us.
