People call me because there's scratching in the attic at two in the morning and they're picturing the worst. My first job is figuring out what it actually is, because raccoon, squirrel, and rat all get handled completely differently. I walk the roofline and the foundation looking for entry points, and animals are better at finding gaps than people are at sealing them, so I'm checking soffits, roof-vent junctions, the gaps where the roof meets the wall, anywhere a determined critter can squeeze. The trap that catches most rookies is sealing the house before you know whether there are babies inside, because if I exclude a mother raccoon in spring, her kits starve in the wall and now the customer has a dead-animal-in-the-wall problem that's worse than what they called about. So I have to confirm whether it's denning season and get the young out first. Once the animals are out, I install one-way doors so anything left can leave but not return, then I seal every gap with hardware cloth and sealant the animal can't chew through. State rules dictate what I can do with what I catch, relocate, release, or otherwise, and those rules vary by species. And almost no job is one visit; I'm back to check traps, confirm the attic's empty, and finish the exclusion over several days.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a wildlife removal technician's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a wildlife removal technician — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
