Do you have a cold air return through your chimney into your attic space? If so they can get in there, they can also (possibly) end up in your house if the flu is open. They will poop all over your attic and it ain't pretty! We had a family of raccoons in the attic of one of the homes we bought and they ran and played so much they actually shook and rattled the ceiling fan! See if you can get someone to use a live trap and relocate them...once they're gone you'll need to get a chimney cover put on so they can't get back in. A chimney cover is simply some heavy screen/wire material made to fit over the top of the chimney and secured in place with metal strapping. |
