What to do right now
- 1. Keep people and pets away from the animal and, if it is inside living space, close interior doors to limit its range.
- 2. Do not touch or corner it — squirrels and several other local species carry disease risk, and a cornered animal defends itself.
- 3. Note where the noise or sighting is (attic, wall, chimney, under a deck) — it is the first thing a provider will ask.
- 4. Do not seal any hole yet. Trapping an animal inside a wall turns a removal into a demolition.

What happens when you call
Calls are routed to an independent wildlife removal provider or partner call center covering your area. That provider — not this site — determines availability, pricing, and scope of work. Most jobs start with an on-site inspection: finding the entry points, identifying the species, then removing or excluding the animal and sealing the structure. Pricing depends on species, number of entry points, accessibility, and whether cleanup or repairs are needed — typical ranges are in the cost guide.
