Usually by going up on the roof and using a garden hose (turned on)

You can use the same kind of snake that is used to clean your drains.
animals can crawl in there and try to nest so that it the type of stuff
you find, animal nests and dead critters. You can put a screen over
the vent if you have this problem. I own one like this and have used
it to clean out vents. You can also rent them.
