Not every pest problem has six legs. Sometimes, the “uninvited guests” we deal with aren’t bugs at all — they have feathers, fur, or even tiny claws.
At Star Pest Control, we’ve seen just about everything. And if you’re hearing strange scratching sounds in your walls or noticing your dryer isn’t venting properly, there’s a good chance you’ve got more than just a minor inconvenience on your hands.
Whether it’s a bird nesting in your dryer vent, a raccoon in your attic, or a squirrel making a home in your soffit, our team is trained and ready to safely remove them and protect your home from future invasions.
The Dryer Vent Bird Dilemma
One of the most common animal-related calls we get? Birds nesting inside dryer vents.
It might sound harmless — even a little charming — but it can quickly become a serious hazard:
- Fire risk: Nesting materials can block airflow and create heat buildup.
- Appliance damage: A blocked vent causes your dryer to overheat or wear down faster.
- Health concerns: Bird droppings and debris can introduce bacteria or mites into your home.
- Repeated issues: If not sealed properly, birds will come right back the next season.
If you suspect this is happening at your home, don’t wait. We can safely remove the nest, sanitize the area, and install guards to prevent it from happening again.
Other Common “Unexpected Friends” We Remove
We offer humane animal removal services across the Shelbyville and Greater Louisville areas for critters like:
- Squirrels in attics or crawl spaces
- Raccoons tearing into soffits or chimneys
- Opossums sneaking into basements or garages
- Bats roosting in vents or behind shutters
- Mice nesting inside walls or insulation
No matter the animal, we treat every situation with care, professionalism, and a deep respect for both your home and the wildlife we’re removing.
