Inspection visit
A look at accessible entry points and signs of activity, a check for young, and written next steps. We explain anything we cannot reach.
$125
The field guide / Work & prices
First, find the opening.
We help with squirrels, raccoons, bats and birds in attics, chimneys and under decks. You do not need to identify the animal before asking.
Three parts of the work
The inspection is a separate visit. Door and repair ranges are added only when needed; access, the number of openings and the material change the price. You receive a written scope before any follow-up work.
One-way door work
A door that lets animals leave while preventing a return through that opening. Includes fitting, a follow-up check and removal of the door when the space is empty.
$250–$650
Exclusion repairs
Closing entry gaps with fitted mesh, a vent cover or small trim repairs after animals have left. Larger roof or structural repairs are referred out.
$180–$1,200
Different places, different plans.
Attics & roof edges
Squirrels, raccoons and bats can use gaps that are hard to see from the ground. We inspect for entry points and young before choosing a way out.
Chimneys & vents
We identify the animal and check for an active nest before planning removal or a fitted cover. Birds and bats can require a wait.
Under decks
We check for a den before planning an exit and a fitted barrier along the open edges. We close those edges only after animals have left.
Timing matters
Spring babies can change the plan.
Young animals may not be ready to leave with their parent. A one-way door used too soon could separate them. We check first and may delay the work or arrange another approach that keeps the family together.
Bats and nesting birds have their own seasonal timing. We work with local rules on releasing animals, and explain when we need to return instead of closing an opening that day.
A few things to know
Should I seal the hole now?
Leave the opening as it is until we have checked for animals and young. Closing it early can leave animals inside.
Do you use poison?
No. We use one-way doors when suitable and repair entry points after the animals leave. We do not use poisons or trapping-to-kill.
Can every job be finished on the first visit?
No. An occupied nest, young animals, cold weather or a hard-to-reach opening can mean a return visit. We explain the timing before you agree to the work.
