Lint Screen & Dryer Lint Trap Cleaning

Over time, lint and debris can build up in your dryer vent system, leading to reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, and a serious fire risk. While the lint screen captures most of the lint, some always gets past and collects in the vent line and trap. Dryer Vent Ninjas provides expert cleaning of lint screens, traps, and vent lines to help keep your system safe and running at its best.

What to Do About Birds in Dryer Vents

Birds in Your Dryer Vent? Here’s What Homeowners in Holland, MI Should Know

Birds nesting in dryer vents is a surprisingly common — and dangerous — issue for homeowners across Holland, MI, Grand Rapids, and Grand Haven. At Dryer Vent Ninjas, we specialize in dryer vent cleaning, safe bird nest removal, and No-Pest Vent™ installation — the permanent solution to keep birds and pests out of your vent system for good.

Why Are Birds Nesting in Your Dryer Vent?

Dryer vents are warm, enclosed spaces that offer ideal protection for birds looking to build a nest or raise chicks. In colder West Michigan months, the heat from your dryer makes vents even more attractive to birds.

But what seems harmless can quickly become a serious threat to your home and family.


Dangers of Bird Nests in Dryer Vents

1. Fire Hazard
Birds often build nests using dry twigs, grass, and lint — all highly flammable materials. Combined with the hot air from your dryer, this creates a real fire risk.

2. Poor Dryer Performance
Blocked dryer vents reduce airflow, making your dryer work harder, run longer, and use more electricity. You’ll likely notice longer drying times and higher energy bills.

3. Health & Safety Issues
Bird droppings and built-up moisture can lead to mold, bacteria, and even carbon monoxide exposure in homes with gas dryers. If you’ve noticed musty smells or unusual heat in your laundry room, a blocked vent may be the culprit.


Dryer Vent Ninjas: Holland’s Bird Nest Removal Experts

If you suspect a bird has built a nest in your dryer vent, don’t remove it yourself — it may be illegal or unsafe. Many bird species are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and disturbing an active nest could lead to fines.

At Dryer Vent Ninjas, we offer safe, humane bird nest removal services throughout Holland and West Michigan. If the nest is active (with eggs or chicks), we’ll monitor the situation or help connect you with a licensed wildlife professional.

Once the nest is abandoned, we’ll:

  • Carefully remove all debris

  • Clean and sanitize the dryer vent line

  • Inspect for damage or clogs


The Permanent Solution: No-Pest Vent™ Installation in Holland, MI

We’re proud to be certified installers of the No-Pest Vent™, a Holland, MI-invented and patented vent cover that keeps birds, rodents, and insects out — permanently.

Why homeowners trust No-Pest Vent™:

  • Complies with international building and mechanical codes

  • Maximizes dryer airflow and efficiency

  • Installs easily over existing 4” ducting

This is the only dryer vent cover designed specifically for long-term protection, safety, and code compliance — and it's made right here in West Michigan.
