RACCOONS IN CHIMNEYS – HOW TO GET RID OF THEM

Raccoons in chimneys can be a real problem. Raccoons can often find their way into chimneys, especially if there are no protective caps or covers installed. They may climb onto the roof and then descend into the chimney, thinking it’s a safe and warm place to nest.

If you have raccoons in your chimney, it’s important to take action to remove them safely and effectively. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Check for baby raccoons: Before you do anything, make sure there are no baby raccoons in the chimney. If you remove the adult raccoon without also removing any babies, you could be separating a mother raccoon from her young, which is both cruel and dangerous. If you’re not sure, listen for any sounds coming from the chimney, or shine a flashlight down the chimney to see if you can spot any baby raccoons.
2. Try a repellent: You may be able to discourage the raccoons from staying in the chimney by using a repellent. There are many commercial raccoon repellents available, or you can try using a strong-smelling substance like ammonia or mothballs.
3. Use a one-way door: A one-way door is a device that allows the raccoon to leave the chimney, but not re-enter it. This can be an effective way to remove the raccoon without harming it. You can purchase a one-way door or make one yourself by attaching a flap of heavy-duty material to the chimney.
4. Call a professional: If you’re not comfortable dealing with the raccoons in chimneys on your own, or if your attempts to remove them have been unsuccessful, it’s best to call a professional wildlife removal service. They will have the experience and equipment necessary to safely remove the raccoons from your chimney.

It’s important to take action quickly if you have raccoons in your chimney, as they can cause damage to the chimney and even pose a fire hazard if they build a nest. By following these steps, you can safely and effectively remove the raccoons and prevent them from returning.

At Virginia Professional Wildlife Removal Services we are constantly striving to advance our education on raccoons in chimneys so that we may serve you better with safe & humane removal.
