Animal exclusion in Metro Detroit
If you hear movement
Do not light a fire to drive an animal out. Keep people and pets away from the fireplace and contact us with a description of the sounds. Live animals or protected nesting birds may require an appropriately qualified wildlife professional.
What exclusion can include
Once the opening is clear and any necessary removal is completed, an appropriately fitted screened cap can help reduce re-entry. Cap sizing, mesh and clearances must suit the venting system.
Know what is separate
Animal capture, nest removal, cleaning and cap installation are separate scopes. Tell us what you have observed so we can explain which services may be needed before quoting.
