Why choose us?

Here are the top 6 reasons why you should own a Skedaddle franchise right now: 

• 
  

  Amazing profit potential: With a low initial investment and low overhead, we had a record year in 2020 - and the investment starts at just $89k! 

• 
  

  Our humane approach: Unlike 95% of the wildlife control industry, Skedaddle never uses traps or kills animals. We focus on sealing the home and preventing a repeat incident.

• 
  

  Little competition: Very few companies focus on wildlife control specifically, and even fewer focus on HUMANE wildlife control. Most companies out there are one-person exterminator operations. 

• 
  

  No need to handle wildlife unless you want to: If you want to take part in this lucrative investment but don’t love the idea of handling wildlife, you can hire a trusted manager while you focus on growing the business as a semi-absentee Owner. 

• 
  

  Year-round business, multiple revenue streams: Wildlife removal is the main revenue stream, which lends itself nicely to other year-round services like attic restoration, pest control, and holiday light decorating. 

• 
  

  Easy to build an empire: No brick-and-mortar space required! Because of the low investment and low overhead, you can scale from a 1-van business to a fleet of 10+ easily! 

We never use bait or traps to remove animals. 

• 
  

  We use hands-on removal, no traps 



• 
  

  We physically take babies out of the home and reunite them with their mother 



• 
  

  Our proprietary baby box keeps babies warm and safe until their mother can get them and take them to a new den 

We focus on reinforcing customer homes so the wildlife can never re-enter.

• 
  

  After 30+ years in business, we’re confident enough to give a lifetime guarantee



• 
  

  We don’t relocate animals away from the urban setting where they were found 



• 
  

  Animals will find dens in other homes (but not the ones we’ve reinforced!)
