Repair and Replacement

Evict the nest, not the airflow.

Birds, squirrels and mice love a warm vent. A nest in the duct blocks exhaust, holds lint and can become a hazard. We remove it carefully.

Bird and Rodent Nest Removal: an example by Dryer Guru
Nests out, vent open.
The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

A dryer vent hood is warm, sheltered and easy to get into, which is exactly what nesting animals want. Twigs, grass and fur block the vent, trap lint and moisture and can even hide in the duct behind the flap.

We remove the nest and debris from the hood and the first stretch of duct, clean the run and check for damage. If wildlife is still present, we recommend a wildlife professional, and we can add a guard to help keep animals out.

Why people choose it

Four things done right.

Careful removal

Debris is cleared from the hood and the duct.

Damage check

We look for chewing, tearing and blocked sections.

Prevention

A guard with wide openings can keep animals out.

Honest limits

Live wildlife is for a wildlife professional.

Good questions

Bird and Rodent Nest Removal: common questions

Is a nest in my dryer vent dangerous?

It blocks exhaust and holds lint, so the dryer can overheat. Stop using the dryer until it is cleared.

What if animals are still inside?

We stop and recommend a wildlife professional, then return to clean once the animals are gone.
