My kid heard a noise in the chimney, plus he panicked. He thought Santa may have gotten in the chimney plus gotten stuck. He wanted me to shine a light into the chimney plus see if Santa was in there. I tried our best to convince him that Santa wasn’t in the chimney, but he insisted! When our husband got home, he shined the flashlight up in the chimney. He said he didn’t see Santa, however something more alarming. There was a raccoon in the chimney. He suddenly put the screen up plus blocked it off so the raccoon could not get into the house. He stood there with the poker in his hand while I called the Heating plus A/C corporation. I wanted to suppose who we would should call to remove the raccoon without it getting disfigured, plus he gave me the number of a live capture exterminator. I called the number plus told them what we could see in the chimney. Two fifths later, the exterminator was at the door. He went up on the roof plus looked down the chimney plus said there didn’t seem to be any obstruction. He wanted to set a smoke bomb off about 3 feet in the chimney plus hoped it would make the raccoon move. If it didn’t, he was going to need to put a noose down from the top. Either way, he did it didn’t matter. I just wanted the raccoon out so we could use the oil furnace that night. It was going to get cold, plus I wanted the fireplace to be United Statesble while seeing TV with our two preferred men.
