I had two guys clean my ducts Friday and I'm not even gay or a female
It took about 2 hours with a huge sucking machine the size of a small refrigerator.


Just to get the smoke damage out of the air vents in my condo.
I thought it sounded funny also


Now I await the copy cat thread.

2. Had that done 2 months ago.
They told me that they could hear mice in the ducts, and needed to double disinfect. I asked how that could be with 2 cats in the house. One guy said with a straight face "maybe they're lazy." This right after he watched Crazy catch a fly on the wing, and eat it. :nuke:

3. It will help your heater work better in the winter and also cut down
on Legionnaire type infections.

I don't use my heater much out here but in Colorado the mice would sneak in and die in the vents,

We worried about mouse droppings in Colorado because of the cases of Bubonic Plague that were reported.

I didn't have to pay for it here it was part of the insurance clean up and repair.

5. I live in a condo with families with kids on either side of me.
My heating bills are negligible. It's the air conditioning bills that are killing me. Cleaning the ducts barely helped.
