This is a question about chimley caps. ( That may not be the correct spelling but it seems to the preferred pronunciation lately )
Anyway, here goes: There are a variety of reasons for replacing a chimney cap that is no longer effective. When you replace one:
A. Do you leave the old cap so that the customer can see what was wrong and the obvious reason for replacing it?
B. Or do you take it along and get rid of it yourself?
P.S. If you have any idea on how to get rid of those little stinkin' moths that I seem to have brought in with some dry dog food; please let me know. You could be saving a life. MINE! customers choice

What Throw Back said. Usually they are happy to let me get rid of their junk. Doesn't bother me, most are made of aluminum and it just goes into the pile to be sold with all the other scrap aluminum.

Are you positive the moths are coming from the dog food? I had a call like this a couple years ago. Tiny white moths (not hundreds, but enough) throughout the entire house, found the problem to be coming from the kitchen, they were hatching from tiny larva that were found in a fairly new bag of flour. Is your flour kept in a sealed container or just in the bag it was purchased in? We spend nearly a week tracking down these buggers... removed the bag of flour within two days the moths were gone!

Part of my pre-inspection questions are if repairs are needed, what do you want done with debri? I usually always take away the mess as part of the job so the homeowner doesn't have to mess with it.

If those are those little suckers that you'd like to shoot with .22 birdshot, you've got the right moth. My wife threw me and all the dog, cat, bird, and dinosaur food out into the garage a long time ago.
The garage seems to be the only place that doesn't have moths now. I've been trying to figure out their new places of infestation, but if I was as good at trapping as I was at finding moths, I'd have to join PETA!

Old chim-i-nee caps are left on the front porch, or shown to customer. Usually they don't want 'em.
