Wildlife removal services — Berkeley, CA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Wildlife removal costs depend on a few key variables. We look at the specific animal species, the size of your property, and how long the infestation has been active. The complexity of the entry points—and whether they require structural repairs to prevent re-entry—also changes the total. If we need to set up multi-day trapping programs or perform sanitation work in tight crawlspaces, those factors add to the bottom line. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Wildlife removal focuses on relocating animals that have become a nuisance or safety hazard. You should call when an animal is causing property damage or acting aggressively near your family. The process involves an inspection, humane capture, and release according to local regulations. Your total cost depends on the type of animal, the height of the roof, and the difficulty of the extraction.
Summer heat drives animals to look for cool, dark spaces. They often find their way under porches, sheds, or into crawlspaces where the temperature is more stable. Young animals are also becoming more mobile this time of year, which can lead to accidental entry into homes. If you notice strange odors or increased sightings around your yard, give us a call to inspect your property.
