Signs of Wildlife in Your Home

The sooner you catch a wildlife issue, the better – a single pair of rats can explode into a population of 1,250 in just one year. Since animals make terrible roommates, watch for these 6 telltale signs:

  • Seeing rodents or other pests near your roofline, foundation, crawl space, or fireplace.

  • Hearing scratching, scurrying, chirping, or thumping inside walls, attics, or chimneys.

  • Smelling a pungent mix of droppings, nesting material, or food waste.

  • Finding scattered insulation, leaves, or twigs gathered in corners.

  • Noticing chewed or broken siding, foundation gaps, or damaged chimney caps.

  • Spotting pests leaving your roof at dusk or returning at dawn.

CSIA Certified

All our technicians hold active Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certifications – the gold standard in the industry.

Why Our Customers Love Us

Mr. Smokestack did a wonderful job for us. I had called for removal of a dead bird behind my damper, inspection of our chimney for installation of a cap, and also dryer vent cleaning. They were so very thorough and patient with my questions and very respectful of my home.

The technician came out and began cleaning, only to find the whole chimney from top to bottom was compacted with debris and dead squirrels. Because the condition was so bad Greg had to come back another day and complete the task which took all day. He was wonderful and made sure to get every bit of debris out of the chimney.

Brandi T.

★★★★★

I had a bat in my home that entered through the chimney. Mr. Smokestack came to inspect the chimney and did a very thorough job. The technician documented both the exterior areas and the interior of the chimney with photos and explained how the bat may have entered the home. I received my quote quickly and will be moving forward with the necessary repairs. Very good experience!
