Animal Nest and Wildlife Removal from Dryer Vents in Tampa, FL
Birds, rodents, squirrels, and even insects commonly find their way into dryer vents—especially in Florida. These uninvited guests not only block airflow but pose fire hazards, damage your venting system, and introduce health risks. At Clean Air Ducts USA, we specialize in animal nest and wildlife removal from dryer vents in Tampa and throughout St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and surrounding counties.
Every visit begins with a thorough site assessment—evaluating fuel type (wood, pellet, gas), chimney height, and surrounding structure—so we can tailor our approach and guarantee both safety and peak performance all year long.

Why Animals Get Into Dryer Vents
Dryer vents are warm, dark, and protected from predators—making them the perfect nesting site for many critters. Common invaders include:
- Birds (especially starlings and sparrows)
- Rats and mice
- Squirrels
- Insects and bees (less common, but dangerous)
Once inside, these animals can cause serious damage and block exhaust flow.
Signs You Have an Animal in Your Dryer Vent
- Chirping, scratching, or movement noises near the dryer or wall
- Dryer takes too long to dry clothes or overheats
- Visible nesting material at the vent exit
- Foul odors coming from your laundry room
- Unusual lint buildup or airflow restriction
