Squrrel Babies in Dryer Vent

I went to check out a plugged dryer vent. There was a squirrel in it. It had had babies.

This is not my favorite kind of job. I've seen lizards, snakes, rodents in the vents... ugghh!

It's easy to prevent this with a screen guard over the vent termination. Or, you can make sure the flap works correctly in the exhaust cover.

Not only was the CO from the gas dryer devastating to the squirrel family, the people in the home had a headache - and not just from the need to have a squirrel funeral. The CO was coming back into the home.
