Just noticed this when getting a new AC installed yesterday. Not sure if it’s a bird or squirrel nest, or even active. It’s super high up that I don’t have a ladder to reach, also I am not super cool with being that close to electrical wiring but I feel like it’s a hazard that needs to be removed. Anyone else experience this and what you suggest my approach should be or what service might need to be hired?
Everyone making a huge problem outta this. Wait until birds are gone if they’re there (fall or winter is fine). Borrow a ladder (preferably fibreglass), and gently remove while wearing gloves. Doesn’t look like any wires are damaged or at risk.
Someone else suggested a leaf blower. Might work. ;)
Fuck no. I’m an electrician and wouldn’t do that. A nick could be under that birds nest and you’d never see it. Call the utility company. They’ll take care of this.
