Wildlife Exclusion Calculator

Wildlife exclusion pricing depends heavily on which animal you're dealing with, and this calculator reflects that by looking up three separate per-species cost tables rather than applying one flat rate. Exclusion Cost multiplies your entry-point count by a combined seal cost and one-way device cost that both vary by species: bats actually carry the highest seal cost ($200/point), since their entry gaps are often small, numerous, and hidden along rooflines or soffits, making each point more labor-intensive to seal — and every bat job also adds a specialized one-way exclusion device (letting bats exit at dusk but not return) on top of that sealing rate. Raccoons come in second on sealing ($175/point) but carry the highest device cost ($85), since a raccoon-rated device must withstand far more force than one built for a bat or bird. Repair Cost scales with the square footage of damaged insulation, drywall, or roofing, again at a species-specific rate per square foot — raccoons cause the most structural damage per square foot ($12), reflecting their size and tendency to tear at material while nesting.

Cleanup Cost combines a flat base charge (attic restoration and initial sanitization) with an additional per-square-foot rate for decontamination and deodorization scaled to the damaged area, since larger contaminated areas need more treatment regardless of species. All three costs sum into a Total Cost that represents the full remediation job, not just pest removal. A key assumption worth flagging: this estimates exclusion and repair work only, not the cost of live-trapping or removing an animal already present — many jurisdictions require a licensed wildlife control operator for capture and relocation separately. Bat colonies in particular often carry legal timing restrictions (maternity season closures) that this calculator doesn't account for, so confirm local regulations before scheduling bat exclusion work.
