How can you get a raccoon out of a chimney?

My brother has a raccoon in his chimney, and the city's animal control won't come out unless it's in a ';living area,'; which apparently doesn't include a chimney. Normally I would suggest scaring it out with a loud noise or something, but raccoons are nasty and dangerous. Any ideas?How can you get a raccoon out of a chimney?
go to a building supply store and get a chimney screen. have a ladder and safety equipment ready. wait for sunset and when raccoon comes out to find food, go up and cover the opening, now it can't get back in. make sure there are no little ones in there, even though it is not the right time of year, there is no way to be sure. if there is sound of babies, get a pro to come and get them out. if you try mama is going to fight you. good luck.How can you get a raccoon out of a chimney?
Are you sure it's not stuck, I've heard of them going down and not been able to get back up. I had a squirrel fall down a chimney chase and Called critter control, they told me to tie a rope to something secure and throw the other end down the chimney, I did it and the squirrel climbed out.


You can also call a company like critter control to come get it.
If he is not stuck, smoke. But you probably do not have a fireplace from the way it sounds. Go to the hardware store, they have a type of smoke bomb that is used to put out a chimney fire. find a cleanout or remove your furnace exhaust pipe and put the smoke bomb in there light it and close up the hole or reinstall the exhaust pipe
It will come down the chimney when it is hungry.
Start a fire. He will show you how a raccoon gets out of a chimney.
Burn some incense. All animals will naturally avoid the sources of smoke.
