Naturally, birds build nests in trees. However, due to widespread deforestation over the last few centuries, birds have had to find alternative places to build their nests. A chimney (to many a homeowners dismay) makes a great nesting spot for birds.
Birds’ nests, as well as the birds themselves, can cause many problems in a chimney.
- The nest blocks the chimney flue and prevents smoke and dangerous gases (e.g. carbon dioxide) from escaping. Nests soak up water and can cause damp patches to form on chimneys as a result. The birds who inhabit the nest may get trapped and die. This can lead to bad smells and of course, the dead bird has to be removed from the chimney which could be an awkward operation. Birds roost near their nests, meaning that they’ll perch on your chimney pot. They’ll also leave their droppings on your chimney pot. The birds may also fall down your chimney, bringing soot with them. They leave a mess to clean up and they can be difficult to get out of the house.
All of these problems can be prevented by Pestagon Pest Control fitting a simple Pestagon chimney bird guard.
