Need a dryer vent cleaning snake/tool

[NetWareHead]

How does one clean a dryer vent duct that runs for a good portion inside the house. The clothes dryer in question is not installed on an outside wall, rather it is located in a central location of the house and the ducting runs for a roughly 20-25 feet until it exits the outside. Do they make flexible snake type of cleaner that cleans as well as a professional type of cleaning service would? I saw the "lint lizard" on TV but I dont think its going to cut it.

I imagine they make longer, if you need something really long you might as well call out a company.

You probably already realized it because you're asking but it's VERY important to clean it. Especially one that long.

Leaf blower on high from the inside will blow a good deal of lint and such out of the vent.
