Cincinnati Chimney Swift Removal
Hearing Chattering In Your Fireplace Flue?
Loud, rhythmic chattering inside your chimney during summer is caused by chimney swifts. These migratory birds cling to rough masonry flues to raise young. They are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and cannot be removed during active nesting.
Cincinnati Critter Ridder times post-migration chimney cleanouts and installs premium stainless steel chimney caps in late summer to prevent their return next spring.

The chattering flutter in your chimney every summer is almost certainly chimney swifts — migratory birds that travel from South America to nest inside rough vertical masonry flues from May through August. Cincinnati and Covington's vast collection of historic homes with unlined brick chimneys hosts thousands of swifts annually.
Chimney swifts are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act; active nests cannot be removed. Once young fledge and the birds migrate in late summer, our crew cleans the flue and installs a custom stainless chimney cap so they cannot return next spring.
