Imagine hearing strange noises from your dryer for TWO HOURS... and finding a chipmunk inside!
That's exactly what happened at this customer's home.
The homeowner heard jumping and sliding sounds coming from the dryer area throughout the night. When our Icon Pest technician arrived, he inspected the exterior dryer vent and discovered that the outside flap was open.
Then came the unexpected discovery.
A chipmunk had fallen into the smooth dryer vent pipe and ended up trapped inside the customer's dryer, unable to climb back out!
Our technician located the little visitor and prepared to remove it safely.
Wildlife doesn't always enter homes through attics, roofs, or damaged siding. Small animals can also get into vulnerable exterior vents and other unexpected openings.
Hearing scratching, movement, or unusual sounds around your dryer vent?
Don't operate the appliance if you suspect an animal is trapped inside. Contact a professional for a safe inspection and removal.
