If you use you fireplace, your chimney should be swept after the last fire of the season -- before the Chimney Swifts return. This is necessary for home safety and beneficial to the swifts as well. When choosing a professional, be certain to hire one which is aware of and carefully follows all wildlife laws. Responsible companies will not remove nesting swifts, but there are many exceptions. Support the companies which help and not hinder the conservation of Chimney Swifts. For a free brochure, Environmental Tips For Professional Chimney Sweeps, send us a legal-sized SASE.
