Pest control

I have some unwanted house guests living in my chimney. Not sure what they are but they have to go.

Any recommendations on local pest control companies who are good with removals like this?

We have used Yankee Pest Control several times in the past. They were always prompt on courteous and we no longer have pests. (mice, birds in our case) (781) 397-992l; yankeepestcontrol.com

build a nice fire.

Perhaps a bit risky without a fireplace, although if I burn the house down I imagine that they will leave.

is that supposed to be a 1 at the end of the phone number?

The owners of Best Pest Control (the "ant house" on Elm Street, closer to Porter) were my old landlords. I'm not sure about chimney pest removal in particular, but they were wonderful in general. Worth a call!

We just had Commonwealth Wildlife Control take care of the village of birds and squirrels living in our place:

I was impressed by their thoroughness - took the time to really do it right.

Haha...I actually tried that once. I had heard squirrels running amok in the top of my chimney and I thought if I lit a fire that they would scamper out onto the roof. I lit the fire and what jumped into my fireplace was not a squirrel, but an angry screeching wing flapping duck. It hopped over the gate and made a squacking beeline for me.....Jesus, I couldn't sleep for weeks.

Man, that's too funny although I am sure it wasn't at the time.

Wait... if you don't have a fireplace, why do you want the critters out of the chimney? Are you concerned something will die in there and smell bad?

The chimney vents the emissions from the water heaters and the boilers, which contain carbon monoxide. So if the chimney were to become blocked, say by some kind of a nest or maybe a dead critter, then we could all get carbon monoxide poisoning.

And yeah, I also don't want it to smell bad.

Oof, that's a pretty good reason. So, no "free chimney pets" then.
