What to do with a bird nest in the dryer vent?

Western Answers

I just found a bird nest in my dryer vent. What should I do, and who actually handles this kind of problem?

Finding a bird nest in vent openings is more common than most people expect, especially in spring. Birds seek out warm, sheltered spots, and vents and bathroom exhaust lines can offer the ideal environment. Nests can block airflow, create fire hazards, and bring debris, odor, and pests into the home. If you notice a clogged vent, strange noises, or lint that seems damp, a nest may be present.

You might not be sure who to call for bird nest removal,  as certain species are protected by state laws, so it’s best to contact a trained pest control technician to ensure the issue is dealt with correctly. Removing a nest on your own can be risky as they are often located in hard-to-reach areas. Our team can inspect the vent, determine if birds are still present, and handle the nest safely and responsibly, adhering to local bird protection laws.

Once we get rid of the bird nest in your vent, we can look for gaps or openings where the birds may have entered. Our professional bird control solutions, including sealing and screening, can help reduce the chances of birds returning.
