Animal Removal & Exclusion in Joshua, TX
Removing what is living in your flue is half the job — the other half is the part that stops the next one. We take out the nest, droppings, and debris, sanitize the flue, and install a cap sized to the tile with the correct mesh, because an uncapped flue will simply be occupied again by spring. Chimney swifts are federally protected migratory birds and nest in chimneys from roughly March through August; where we find them, we leave the nest undisturbed until the young have fledged and schedule the exclusion for afterward — that is both the law and the only humane way to handle it. Cost depends on how far down the nest sits and how much cleanup follows. Serving Joshua (1 ZIP codes, 8k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.
