AMAZING PROFIT POTENTIAL
With a low initial 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.
PERFECT SEMI-ABSENTEE 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 BUSINESS
EASY TO SCALE TO 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!

As the largest wildlife company in Canada, Skedaddle decided to try their time-tested model in the United States.

CAN YOU OWN A WILDLIFE CONTROL FRANCHISE WITH NO WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE?
No wildlife experience needed: The perfect franchise opportunity isn’t usually dependent on industry experience.
In fact, if you narrow your search 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 Owner.
But, all of our Owners do have a few things in common:
STRONG MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Whether you’re running a single-van operation or a 5-10 fleet, you’ll need to be able to manage people, time, and jobs.
GROWTH-MINDED
We give you all the tools you need to succeed so you can grow your business, but you need that growth mindset!
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 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.
