AMAZING PROFIT POTENTIAL
With a low initial financial investment and low overhead, our U.S. Franchise Owner averaged $175,081* in net profit last year!
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.
MINIMAL COMPETITION
Few companies focus on wildlife control specifically, and even fewer focus on HUMANE wildlife control. Most out there are one-person exterminator operations.
SEMI-ABSENTEE OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY
If you want to take part in this lucrative investment but don’t love the idea of handling wildlife, you’d hire a trusted manager while you focus on growing the business.
YEAR-ROUND, SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
EASY TO SCALE TO A BUSINESS EMPIRE
No brick-and-mortar space required! Because of the low financial investment and low overhead, you can scale from a 1-van wildlife removal business to a fleet of 10+ easily!

THE STORY BEHIND SKEDADDLE
WILDLIFE CONTROL FRANCHISE
1981
Bill Dowd was drafted to the (then) Stanley Cup Champion New York Islanders, where he went on to have an ice hockey career for the next 3 years.
1985
Similar to many professional athletes, Bill found himself in search of his next career; he went back to college and found his calling — to pursue his passion for wildlife and franchising.
1989
After witnessing and learning about the cruel, unethical, and ineffective practices in the wildlife control industry, Bill founded his own humane wildlife control company.
2013
The company was rebranded as Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control and the first franchise was awarded in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
2017
As the largest wildlife removal company in Canada, Skedaddle decided to try their time-tested franchise business model in the United States.
TODAY
After the first U.S. franchise in Milwaukee, Wisconsin became a huge success, Skedaddle starts awarding humane wildlife removal franchises nationwide, becoming the largest in North America!

CAN YOU OWN A
WILDLIFE CONTROL FRANCHISE
WITH NO ANIMAL REMOVAL EXPERIENCE?
No wildlife experience needed: The perfect franchise business opportunity isn’t usually dependent on industry experience.
In fact, if you narrow your search for franchise opportunities to industries you’ve only been involved with, you can miss out on a lot of cash!
There’s no “one” kind of background that leads to success as a Skedaddle Franchise Owner.
But, all of our Franchise Owners do have a few things in common:
STRONG MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Whether you’re running a single-van operation or a fleet of 5-10, you’ll need to be able to manage people, time, and jobs and focus on building your margins.
GROWTH-MINDED
We give you all the tools you need to succeed so you can grow your animal control business, but you need that growth mindset! Our most successful territories have anywhere from 5-20 trucks and technicians on the road each and every day.
ENTHUSIASTIC
You don’t need to be enthusiastic about handling wildlife, but you do need to be an enthusiastic person in general: Be enthused about being your own boss and providing a valuable service to your local community!
CUSTOMER SERVICE-ORIENTED
When customers call us, they’re often very concerned. They need someone who’s calming, professional and makes them feel assured that the job is getting done right the first time.
SALES-ORIENTED
When you meet with a customer for an estimate, they want to know why Skedaddle’s humane wildlife control approach is the best and how you’ll get the job done right the first time.
