How often do you folks have your dryer vent/duct cleaned out?  The lint trap gets cleaned with every load, but how often for the duct?

I have a very short run, so the only place that needs regular cleaning is the exterior vent. That's where the lint seems to collect.

Similar and our exhaust has a screen over it to keep small critters out, so that collects lint.

I can't remember if critters actually came in or we were just worried they would.

X3. There is no flex in the run, which helps.

I only have flex from the dryer to the pipe and it's not a lot. Our line outside the house flips open so it's easy to pull any lint off and check down that branch.
