Default PLugged exhaust

I think some critters have built a nest in my exhaust pipe. Anyone have some advice on clearing the blockage?
TIA IAn

Try Mitch's idea first and if that doesn't work then remove the muffler, pour some gas down the pipe and carefully light it to burn the nest to ashes, which should blow out. You may want to connect the exhaust of the shop vac to the pipe to make the fire burn better.
