I have used every chimney cap available over the years and they always got in, and get way down the chimney. I almost gave up and learned to live with them until they chewed a small hole thru the drywall in a closed up fireplace that was located near my teenager's head when he sleeps!(mmm revenge).
I also new that there was a chance thier babies were coming in 3-4 weeks and I would be stuck till June to get them out, but I decided to fianlly try again and called 4 companies. GTA called me back within 30 mins. Guys came over next day, climbed a ladder to a very steep roof covered in ice/snow, up higher to the chimney and installed the screen. They guaranteed that the squirrels would be gone within 3 days and so we sat and listed daily and intently for at least 2 weeks and no squirrels! they also have a 5 year guarantee for my peace of mind.
Wish I had found them years ago instead of wasting time and money on useless chimney/roofer advise.
Now, how to remove the nest debris in the old chimney?
