Wildlife Removal
Humane removal and exclusion for raccoons, squirrels, bats, skunks, and other wildlife that get into Maryland attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces.
Wildlife removal handles the larger animals that get into a house: raccoons in the attic, squirrels in the soffit, bats in the wall, skunks under the deck. It is different work from insect control. The animal has to come out without harm, the entry point has to be sealed, and the mess it left, soiled insulation, droppings, chewed wiring, has to be dealt with.
Maryland wildlife follows the seasons. Raccoons and squirrels look for sheltered den sites to raise litters in spring and summer, and an attic or chimney makes a good one. Bats use attics and wall voids as summer roosts, and Maryland law restricts bat exclusion during the maternity season from May 15 through August 15 so flightless young are not sealed inside. Skunks den under decks and porches. A licensed operator knows the state wildlife rules and the timing the law requires.

What to expect
- 1
Inspection
The operator identifies the animal, finds the entry point, and checks whether there is a litter that has to be handled before sealing.
- 2
Removal
The animal is removed humanely with trapping or one-way exclusion doors, following Maryland wildlife regulations.
- 3
Exclusion
Entry points get sealed with heavy-gauge material that the animal cannot chew or force back through.
- 4
Cleanup and repair
Soiled insulation and droppings are removed and the damaged area is cleaned, with larger restoration quoted as needed.
What it costs in Maryland
Wildlife jobs in Maryland are priced by the species and the work involved. An initial inspection runs $100 to $300 and is often credited toward service. Squirrel removal with exclusion generally runs $300 to $600 base, plus $225 to $400 per additional exclusion entry point. Raccoon removal runs $200 to $600 per animal, with nest or litter removal adding $300 to $750.
Bat exclusion runs $400 to $2,000 or more and is the most regulated job, since Maryland restricts work during the maternity season from May 15 through August 15. A general wildlife removal job ranges from $150 to $2,000 or more depending on the species and complexity. A full attic job, removal plus exclusion plus cleanup and insulation replacement, reaches the top of that range.
