It depends on the situation. For example, if the raccoon is living in your attic, the cost will be higher than if it's living in your backyard. Most animal removal companies will charge a fee for an initial consultation, and then charge by the hour for the actual removal. Some companies also require a deposit before they will start work. It's important to hire a licensed and insured company to remove the raccoon, as improper removal can lead to further damage and harm to the animal.
