Bird Nest Removal & Guard Install
Birds love the warmth of dryer vents, but their nests cause severe blockages and pose a massive fire hazard. We safely extract the debris and install proper guards to keep them out permanently.
Why Nests Must Be Handled Quickly
A bird nest in your dryer vent isn't just an annoyance—it completely blocks airflow. The dry grass and twigs they use, combined with the heat from your dryer, create a perfect storm for a fire.
- Severe Fire Hazard: Nests are made of highly combustible materials blocking extreme heat.
- Mites & Bacteria: Bird nests bring bird mites, droppings, and bacteria directly into your home's ductwork.
- Appliance Damage: A completely blocked vent will cause your dryer to overheat and blow its thermal fuse.
- Carbon Monoxide Risk: If you have a gas dryer, a blocked vent can force dangerous gases back into your home.
Our Nest Removal Process
We don't just pull out the nest. We sanitize the line and upgrade your exterior cover to ensure this never happens again.
1. Safe Extraction
We carefully locate and remove the entire nest, along with any birds or eggs, clearing out all twigs, grass, and debris from the vent line.
2. Deep Cleaning
Once the nest is out, we perform a full heavy-duty vent cleaning to remove the remaining lint, bird droppings, and bacteria.
3. Pest Guard Installation
We install a specialized, code-compliant pest guard that keeps birds out but is wide enough to let lint escape (unlike dangerous standard screens that clog).
