Why Birds Love Your Dryer Vent
Birds have a tendency to like dryer vents for their nesting spots. They are warm, protected from the elements, and offer an ideal place for them and their young to sleep. The different species of birds that like to nest in dryer vents include sparrows, starlings, and house finches. However, what’s yours is supposed to be your home – your dryer’s vent opening. There are several issues caused by birds occupying your dryer’s vent. First, the birds prevent the dryer from adequately exhausting heat and moisture. Additionally, their nesting materials can start a fire in your dryer vents. All the droppings from these birds can also enter your dryer’s exhaust vent. Other issues include damage to the dryer’s vent flaps and the strong odors from their nesting or deceased birds in the vent. Finally, there will be further infestations of birds in your dryer vent once they recognize it as an appropriate spot to build their nests.
What Is a Bird Screen and How Does It Work?
A bird screen for your dryer vents, also known as a vent guard, is installed over the opening of your dryer’s vent. The screen allows the exhaust of moisture and heat from your dryer while keeping birds and other small animals from entering your dryer’s vent. The design of the screen is crucial to ensuring it appropriately performs this job. A quality bird screen will:
• Allow unrestricted airflow from the dryer
• Use durable materials to withstand weather conditions
• Come in the appropriate size for the dryer’s opening
• Have secure fittings that do not allow squirrels to move it
• Allow lint to exit the dryer without getting stuck on the screen
• The mesh screens available for purchase online or at hardware stores may appear to be a good idea – however, if they do not allow for proper exhaust of lint from the dryer, you could end up with lint buildup in your dryer’s vents. This is something that Spring Time Dryer & Air Duct does not want to happen to our Tomball customers.
