Same problem happened to my 抽油烟机通风管道 couple years ago. First I heated some cooking oil and put some chilly in, turned the 抽油烟机 on, birds flew away immediately. Then we used a metal net to cover the opening on the exterior wall after took off 上面的塑料片
if you can reach with ladder. You can also buy this kind of guard from Home depot, and ask for professional person to clean the pipe and install it on. |

I still have a few questions. Did you clean the pipe? if so, by yourself or a professional? You mentioned that you covered the opening on the exterior wall with a metal net after you took off the plastic cover. How do you prevent cold air from getting into your house, especially in winter? I noticed that the plastic cover can be easily opened by wind. A salesman from home depot said there was no good solution to this issue. |

Before you chase the birds away and seal the opening, make sure the birds haven't laid eggs inside (or they'll become orphans!!). It's spring time now and it's the time that they lay eggs. Later by early summer, those eggs will have hatched and then weeks later those babies will have moved on with parents to other places, at that time then, you can get a wire mesh from HD and cover the opening, then put the vent flaps back.
The draft getting inside from the duct is minimal, besides, a little fresh air from outside will do you good in winter..:-) |
