Wildlife control and exclusion are essential services for homeowners dealing with unwanted critters on their property. Terminix provides comprehensive coverage for a wide array of pests, including roof and Norway rats, house mice, tree squirrels, flying squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, armadillos, pigeons, starlings, and sparrows.1 These animals can pose significant risks to health and safety, as well as cause damage to your home and property. While some might consider DIY methods to manage wildlife issues, investing in professional control is often worth the price. Professionals can help with the safe and humane removal of these pests while providing long-term prevention strategies. When you invest in the wildlife removal cost from a professional, you can help eliminate pests from your property2 and protect your home from future infestations.

Wildlife treatment type

Whether you’re looking to prevent pests from getting in your home or dealing with a full-blown infestation – these factors can impact the wildlife control cost. Exclusion services, which focus on measures to deter wildlife from coming inside your home, often involve upfront investments such as the installation of barriers. On the other hand, addressing an active infestation can vary widely in cost depending on the severity of the infestation, the species involved, and the necessary methods for removal.

Plan type

Terminix offers both one-time and annual plans, each designed to cater to different needs and budgets. One-time plans involve a singular service that addresses an immediate pest problem. While this option may seem expensive, they are often necessary for homeowners facing urgent wildlife infestations. Annual plans typically include a regular inspection and preventative measures throughout the year. By investing in an annual plan, homeowners can help effectively reduce the likelihood of infestations occurring again, ultimately saving money in the long run.

Type of exclusion

Exclusion services can help prevent future infestations, and depending on which plan you choose, the wildlife exclusion cost can differ. Exclusion is a wildlife control technique aimed at keeping animals from accessing your home or property by closing off possible entry points. This can involve locating any gaps, cracks, or openings that wildlife might use to get inside and then sealing them up. Our technicians may use a variety of materials to secure these areas, such as Flexi ArmourTM. This treatment is a sustainable, long-lasting option for homeowners that is infused with stainless steel and effectively secures potential entry points. The location, property size, and materials needed can also impact the price of exclusion services.

How to get started with wildlife control

At Terminix, we understand that investing in professional wildlife control and exclusion services can be a big decision. While the wildlife control cost may be worrisome for homeowners, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial investment. With tailored treatment plans that address your home's specific needs, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your property is protected.
