When was the last time you looked at your chimney? Many homeowners don't realize that an uncapped chimney is basically a hollow tree to a mother raccoon or a colony of swifts. Once they nest inside, the debris can block ventilation and create a serious fire hazard. Installing a heavy-duty stainless steel cap is a simple, one-time fix. If you suspect something is already living in the flu, seeking out professional wildlife help is much safer than trying to smoke them out, which rarely works and often causes more damage.
