Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Animals (Raccoon & Squirrel in Chimney)
The most annoying times in your home are when you can hear noise from the chimney. The strange sounds from strange animals and the worst apart is they can pick up at night when you need silence at its best. This is not easy, especially when a raccoon has picked on your chimney as a den. However upset you might get, smoking an animal out is as worse as killing it. In fact the raccoons and squirrels always mistake the uncapped chimney for a hole and that's how they found themselves trapped. They think it's a hollow tree but it's a chimney, and a human being is connected to it. Because of its slippery nature, the raccoons find it easy to move up and the down the chimney.

They comfortably take the chimney for a new home and that is why their noise is not frantic and they don't produce noise much of the time. The squirrels on the other hand, fall in the chimney as a trap and will always produce sounds in a bid for someone to save it out of the chimney because of the height. Well, it's much better to know where the animal falls as this is the only way to remove it from the chimney. Calling on the chimney sweeps is always the best solution.

How to remove the animals from the chimney
Smoking the chimney is the worst thing you can do, since the animals will burn. If a squirrel is in your chimney, the best way is to give an evacuation plan, once you have removed all of them from the chimney, you will then have to install a cap as this is the only way of avoiding such an occurrence in future. There are moments when a squirrel is unable to get back to the flue and this is the right time when you can introduce a humane trap and get him outdoors.

An escape route for a squirrel
Most of the times, they are already scared once in the chimney and they are always ready to leave. In this case, ensure you have the right escapee route that will not cause further panic or damage to them. For instance, you can hang some thick rope, so long as you have tied it on one end of the chimney. The squirrel will come to learn of the new escape route and will be out after some few hours.

The use of noise
There are times when the squirrels have to be scared by some noise in order to get back to the damper. When the squirrel is already at the fireplace, use human bait since they will slowly retreat on the other end and this will help you get it out.

Replace the chimney with a cap
Amazingly, even after saving it, you can find the squirrel back; the only best way is to get a chimney cap replaced as soon as possible. For the raccoons, you can contact a professional.
