Make a chimney evaluation your top priority! Chesapeake Chimney & Co. can help you get your chimney in top shape. We take pride in being Calvert County's only certified chimney sweep. Get your chimney checked NOW to avoid a headache next winter. It's easy to forget about your chimney when it's warm outside. You've stopped using the fireplace and you rarely fire up the furnace. But don't put your chimney out of mind just yet. Almost all home heating systems - including furnaces, boilers and wood stoves - rely on chimneys to safely vent the exhaust they produce to the outside of your home. In fact, both the National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of America recommend annual inspections for all chimneys-no matter how you heat your home. An annual chimney inspection can help eliminate fire and carbon monoxide hazards and protect your home from property loss due to deterioration or water damage

"When we couldn’t turn off our insert with the remote Xmas weekend & the installing Co in Waldorf failed to even call back the next week, I contacted Chesapeake Chimney. Joseph came promptly & ID’d what had failed to work. He ordered the warranty parts & did a great job installing the new parts."

"I contacted Pest Chase first thing in the morning about a very large wasp nest that had been built in a tree in my front yard. Sundar came out within a few hours to evaluate the nest and provide a quote. He returned that afternoon and removed the nest. After a few days, we noticed a few wasps were still hanging around the area and he came back to spray again just to make sure they were gone. Sundar was extremely professional, helpful, and prompt, and I would certainly hire Pest Chase again."

Animal removal services FAQs

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems. 

Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.

Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:

  • Bats

  • Birds

  • Groundhogs

  • Moles and voles

  • Opossums

  • Mice and rats

  • Raccoons

  • Skunks

  • Squirrels

The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area. 

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400

This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
