"Help me get the squirrels out of my chimney!" - I hear that request all the time. A very common scenario in the field of nuisance wildlife control involves animals that have invaded a person's chimney. All kinds of wildlife love to live in the chimneys of homes. Chimneys provide a warm, safe, dry shelter that really suits the needs of many animals. Squirrels are one of the animals that will frequently inhabit a chimney, and for which trappers provide chimney removal. Squirrels are used to climbing and living in trees. If they can, they will find the hollow of a tree to live in. However, an chimney of a home is like a great big hollow tree to a squirrel. Squirrels can climb almost anything, and they will crawl right up and into the chimney, and if the walls are made of masonry of some sort, they will easily be able to climb in and out.At first people notice the sound of squirrels running around above the fireplace. These sounds most frequently occur in the morning or evening, but may be heard throughout the day. People then wonder how they can get rid of the squirrels in the chimney. Removing squirrels from chimneys requires proper trapping techniques. The squirrels need to be trapped and removed, and then the chimney should have a professional chimney cap installed over the opening.
In this case I lowered a rope down the chimney to let a young squirrel crawl out. It is not necessary to crawl headfirst down the flu and set traps inside the chimney itself. Squirrels don't live inside 24/7. They
constantly go in and out of the chimney. They have to go out to eat and drink. They are just inside because your chimney provides safe shelter.

Like all members of the rodent family, squirrels are excellent chewers, and they will chew their way into your home or commercial building. Once inside, they may even chew on wires or pipes! People often hear the squirrels running about in the chimney or ceiling. They often bring in nesting debris, and can create a fire hazard, not only due to the debris, but also by chewing electrical wires. Squirrels will also chew on the woodwork of a home.
