Start a fire
Start a fire
Furnace or fireplace...???
That was my entire point.
1) Furnace......start it up.
2) Fireplace.......build a fire.
Once they leave find the point of entrance and repair.
Also if in the country set in ambush.

You on the right, solution on the left.
May not be so simple if I can't open the flu.
20 years ago I had the problem in unused chimney. I poured an ounce or so of bleach down the chimney. The mama racoon immediately removed her babies from the chimney and moved elsewhere. I plugged the chimney top.
The old neighbor had a family of coons in his chimney. We lit some firecrackers and dropped down on them. They left that night.
It's a gas fireplace. Would it be ok to light for a few minutes with the flu closed if I open some windows?
Or maybe just try tapping on the flu door with a hammer to scare them out?
Hey an excuse to get up on the roof with the neighbor and light some fireworks... win win....Good ideas. Worth a try.
I have heard that placing a loud radio by the flue will work. Maybe time for some AC DC ?
