When wildlife finds its way into your home, it’s more than just a nuisance. It’s stressful. It’s disruptive. It’s downright nerve-wracking. Whether you’re hearing mice scurrying in your walls or discovering raccoons have turned your attic into their new home, one question probably comes to mind: How much is this pest infestation going to cost?
We get it. Wildlife removal can feel overwhelming—both in terms of what’s involved and what it costs. That’s why we’ve created this guide: to explain the factors that influence pest control costs and help you feel more informed.
Here’s the thing, though: every wildlife situation is unique. So, while we’ll share estimates for pest control treatments here, the only way to get accurate pest control prices is to contact Gotcha Wildlife for a free, no-obligation quote from an experienced pest control technician. That way, you’ll know exactly what to expect for your specific wildlife issue.
Now, let’s get into it.
What Influences Wildlife Removal Costs?
Pest control services aren’t one-size-fits-all. Pest control companies, like ours, provide custom work, tailored to your home, your problem, and—most importantly—the animals involved. Costs can vary. Here’s why:
Animal Type
A squirrel in your attic isn’t the same as a family of raccoons in your crawlspace or a colony of bats in your chimney. Different animals require different approaches. Humane trapping, sealing entry points, and relocating a single raccoon will cost less than managing an entire bat colony (and safely removing their droppings).
Extent of the Infestation
Small problem? Smaller cost. Large problem? You get the idea. A single mouse is easier to handle than a colony of them. One raccoon is manageable; an entire family, less so. The bigger the problem, the more time, effort, and resources are required—and that’s reflected in the cost.
Access and Location
Here’s the deal: wildlife removal gets trickier (and more expensive) the harder it is to reach the problem. Animals tucked into tight crawlspaces, high-up attics, or inside your walls? That takes extra time, tools, and expertise to handle safely.
Exclusion and Repairs
Removing wildlife is only half the job. The other half is making sure they don’t come back. That’s where exclusion comes in—sealing up entry points and repairing any damage caused by the animals. It’s an essential step for long-term protection. It might add to the cost, but it saves you money (and stress) down the road.
Emergency Pest Control Service
Wildlife doesn’t wait for convenient timing. Neither do we. If you need help ASAP—like a raccoon that’s broken into your kitchen or a bat flying around your bedroom—emergency services may come at a premium.
Wildlife Removal Cost Estimates
We wish we could give you a one-size-fits-all number here, but the reality is every job is unique. That said, we can offer some general estimates based on our experience:
- Mice or Rat Removal: ~$150–$500
These costs depend on the size of the infestation and whether sealing entry points is required. - Squirrel Removal: ~$200–$500
Humane trapping, exclusion, and sealing work are included to keep them from coming back. - Raccoon Removal: ~$300–$5,000+
Raccoons are strong, clever, and destructive. That often means more extensive work—and higher costs. - Bat Removal: ~$500–$3,000
Costs vary depending on the colony size and whether cleanup (like guano removal) is needed.
Keep in mind, these numbers are just estimates. Your pest control pricing could be lower—or higher. The only way to know for sure is to get a free quote from our team.
Why Choose Professional Wildlife Removal?
DIY pest control treatment solutions can be tempting. They seem cheaper. They seem easier. But here’s the truth: wildlife problems rarely have easy fixes.
Mousetraps and YouTube videos can only take you so far. Wildlife control requires experience, specialized tools, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. Without it, you risk injury, damage to your home, and recurring problems that only get more expensive.
