The only wildlife exclusion franchise in North America — 37 years of proof, no national competitor, and $1,090,272 average franchisee revenue.

An ELITE Franchise Opportunity


There's a wildlife problem in every city in America. Own the only national brand built to solve it permanently.

Mice, bats, raccoons, squirrels, and birds are getting into homes in every market in the country — and homeowners are not dealing with it themselves. They call someone. In most cities, that someone is an unlicensed trapper with a pickup truck, no guarantee, and no humane methodology. They remove the animal and leave. It comes back. Skedaddle owners walk into that gap with a 37-year proven system, a lifetime guarantee, and a humane approach that permanently seals every entry point so the animal never returns.

The business you're buying includes four revenue streams — wildlife exclusion, pest control, attic restoration, and holiday lighting — all generating revenue across every season of the year. Add a corporate call center fielding 500 to 600 inbound calls per day before you even open your doors, and this is one of the few franchises where demand is already waiting for you.

WHY CHOOSE SKEDADDLE

Non-discretionary, recession-resistant demand: wildlife problems exist in every market, and homeowners do not defer them. This is a necessary service that needs to be handled immediately
Four revenue streams in one investment: With one investment, you run a business that covers wildlife exclusion, pest control, attic restoration, and holiday lighting, ensuring you are profitable year-round
Home-based model with no retail location, no buildout, and no commercial lease required
You don’t get your hands dirty: owners manage and grow the business, they do not catch animals, climb roofs, or perform exclusion work
Corporate call center operating seven days a week, 500 to 600 calls per day, guaranteeing you have inbound leads from day one

DAY IN THE LIFE

Skedaddle is a manager-run model. The owner's job is to build and lead a team, not to be the one in the field.

Your role:

● Manage your team of technicians and salespeople
● Oversee service quality and job completion
● Build relationships with customers and your local community
● Review KPIs, financials, and daily operations
● Lead hiring, onboarding, and culture
● Drive growth and territory expansion

What you leave to the team:

● Catching animals or performing exclusion work
● Climbing on roofs
● Answering inbound calls — the call center handles all scheduling, lead capture, and appointment reminders
● Wildlife, pest control, or trades knowledge — technicians are fully trained through the Skedaddle system

IDEAL CANDIDATE

Skedaddle is not looking for people with a wildlife or pest control background. The owners who thrive here have led people before — they know how to build a team, hold people accountable, and grow a business. If you have a sales, operations, or management background and you want a business with no national competitor and demand that doesn't slow down, this is worth a serious look.

Experience managing people or running an operation
Comfortable building relationships with customers, employees, and the local community
Focused on growth — this is a scalable business with a clear path to a multi-truck operation
Enough capital to build through year one

AVAILABLE TERRITORIES & NEXT STEPS

Skedaddle has 25 U.S. outlets operating today, but 62 locations system-wide, including the founder-owned Canadian operations running since 1989. The U.S. network grew 50% in the past year, but the best markets are still open.
