What does wildlife removal cost?
$400 – $1,500 for most wildlife removal jobs including humane trapping and sealing the entry point — inspections run $150 – $350 and often apply toward the work.
Removal without exclusion is a subscription to the same problem. Any quote that doesn't include sealing entry points isn't solving it.
Cost breakdown
| Job | Typical cost | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection | $150 – $350 | Find the animal, the entry, and the damage |
| Squirrel / raccoon removal + exclusion | $400 – $1,500 | Trapping plus sealing entry points |
| Bat colony exclusion | $500 – $2,500 | Seasonal timing is legally restricted — pros know the windows |
| Skunk / opossum under structure | $300 – $900 | Trapping plus barrier installation |
| Attic cleanup & restoration | $1,000 – $8,000+ | Insulation replacement and sanitizing after long infestations |

What moves your price
Animal and access
A squirrel at an easy soffit is the base price. A raccoon family in a steep roofline is not.
How long they've been there
Weeks means trapping and a patch. Months means contaminated insulation and real restoration costs.
Exclusion scope
One entry hole or a whole house of aging soffits? Sealing everything costs more once and ends the cycle.
Local law
Many states regulate relocation and bat-season work. Licensed wildlife pros handle the legal side too.
