Skedaddle - Franchise Information
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!
How Do We Do It?
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!)
