Wildlife Removal
Humane removal and exclusion for raccoons, squirrels, bats, skunks, and other wildlife that get into Wisconsin 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.
Wisconsin's wooded suburban character and its many lake communities sustain steady wildlife demand year-round. 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. Skunks den under decks and sheds. Some Wisconsin species are protected and bats are subject to strict timing rules, so removal needs to follow state wildlife law, which a licensed operator will know.
What wildlife removal covers
- Raccoons in attics and chimneys, including dealing with a litter
- Squirrels in soffits, attics, and wall voids
- Bats roosting in attics and wall voids, handled within the timing the law requires
- Skunks denning under decks, sheds, and porches
- Exclusion: sealing the entry points so the animal cannot return
- Cleanup of soiled insulation, droppings, and damage left behind
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 Wisconsin wildlife regulations.
- 3
Exclusion
Entry points get sealed with heavy-gauge material 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 Wisconsin
Smaller wildlife jobs in Wisconsin are priced by the species and the work involved. Small-animal removal for a raccoon, skunk, or squirrel generally runs $309 to $405, with the statewide average near $346 and Milwaukee around $365. A bat job for one or two loose bats runs $167 to $256 per visit, with Milwaukee averaging about $216.
A full attic job, removal plus exclusion plus cleanup and insulation replacement, can run $800 to $3,000 or more. Bat exclusion, which means sealing every gap and cleaning up guano, commonly runs $800 to $2,500. The cost is driven by the species, how many animals are involved, how hard the entry points are to seal, and how much damage there is to remediate.
