Chimney Caps

For many animals, a chimney is just like a hollow tree or a cave; however it is also like an open door to a structure. Squirrels and birds will enter the chimney only to find that they are unable to get back up the flue. Bats will gain access to the home through the chimney. Raccoons and chimney swifts will live in chimneys and find it a great place to raise their young. To prevent wildlife from entering the chimney, WXT will install a chimney cap or screen metal chimneys’ with galvanized hardware cloth (GHC).
