Anybody know how to get birds out of a chimney? I mean, without starting a fire.. It's already like 85 in Austin with humidity and I don't need more heat around me. They're annoying and I think they've dropped a flea infestation in the house. That or it's the mouse I'm still trying to rid from the kitchen area. Mutha****as.

Please help-- I'm going to get some flea spray and bug bombs right now and I don't want it to be in vain.

Here's a newsgroup thread on that subject over at Google Groups. Maybe something in there will help.

Ow Mike. Texas, Summer and Lighting a fire do not go together. I feel for you. Hell I can't really think of anytime you'd need a fire here. Never gets that cold.

Thanks Saturn Lad! That was informative as hell.. I had no idea those bastards were protected by international treaty... Looks like I'll have to tough them out a bit.

I did get flea bombs, yard spray and this kick-ass indoor spray that kills just about anything.

Put the fleabombs in the chimney and scoop out the pile of birds a few hours later.
