Animal Removal & Exclusion in Sherman, TX
Raccoons, squirrels, and birds get into an uncapped flue and then cannot climb back out, and the nest they leave behind is a solid blockage sitting over a live appliance. We remove the animal and the nesting material, sweep the flue clear, and then close the way in — because removal without exclusion is a service call you pay for again next spring. That means a correctly sized, mesh-screened cap and any repair to the crown or chase that gave them the opening. One exception we hold to: chimney swifts are a federally protected migratory species, and while they are nesting from roughly March through August we do not disturb them — the removal and the cap get scheduled for after they fledge. Serving Sherman (3 ZIP codes, 44k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.
