Common Animals in Carrollwood Chimneys
The most common animals we remove from chimneys in the Carrollwood area are: chimney swifts (a federally protected migratory bird — cannot legally be disturbed during nesting season, generally May through August, as they are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act); European starlings and house sparrows (invasive species, may be removed at any time); Eastern gray squirrels (Florida's most common chimney intruder); and raccoons (which are surprisingly common in Carrollwood's wooded neighborhoods).

After confirming the species and verifying that legal removal is possible, we perform humane removal of the animal using techniques appropriate to the species. We then remove all nesting material from the flue — nesting material is highly flammable and must be completely removed before the fireplace can be safely used. We perform a complete chimney sweep to remove all debris and any biological contamination. Finally, we install a properly sized stainless steel chimney cap or animal screen that permanently prevents re-entry.

Animals in your chimney create multiple hazards that compound over time: dry nesting material is extremely flammable and can ignite from fireplace sparks or heat; animal droppings can carry bacteria including salmonella and parasites including raccoon roundworm; the decomposition of animals that enter but cannot exit the flue creates dangerous bacteria and persistent odors that permeate your entire home through the fireplace opening. The problem will not resolve on its own — same-day service is available throughout Carrollwood.
