Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control - Franchise
Skedaddle is a unique and ELITE franchise opportunity with HUGE profit potential for Owners who want to secure their future with a recession-resistant business model.
This home-based low-overhead business is the #1 pest and wildlife control franchise in North America, and has been a pioneer in the industry since 1989.
Competitive Advantages
While a “Chuck-in-a-Truck” might remove wildlife from a customer's home, the animals tend to return after a few weeks or months.
At Skedaddle, we focus on sealing the entry points and other weak and vulnerable areas of the structure and guarantee our customers won’t have any issues moving forward.
As many pests have multiple den sites in a neighborhood, our professional branding and industry-leading customer service will ensure many neighborhoods are contacting our call center in need of Skedaddle services.
Why Choose Skedaddle
Here are the top 7 reasons why you should own a Skedaddle franchise right now:
- Low Investment & Strong Sales Growth: Skedaddle Owners can start their business for only $145K. Not only that, our Milwaukee franchise Owner saw over 33% sales growth from 2024 to 2025!
- Manager Run Opportunity: If a Franchise Owner wants in on this lucrative and needs-based service but does not want to get their hands dirty, they can hire a salesperson to interact with customers and oversee the day-to-day.
- Minimal Competition: While there are many pest control and home inspection companies, the number of companies focused on protecting and preventing animals from entering homes is slim to none. When we are faced with any type of competition, it is a “Chuck-in-a-truck” trapper, and our professionalism allows us to acquire the customer every time.
- Recession-Resistant, In-Demand Service: Animal encounters happen no matter what is going on with the economy, and they are usually problems homeowners won’t deal with themselves. Every home in any city is vulnerable to mice, bats, birds, etc., yet no national company is focused on this necessary protection service.
- Multiple Revenue Streams: Not only will Franchise Owners generate strong profits from our home protection services, but we also offer three additional revenue streams they can add to their businesses. Attic restoration, pest control, and holiday decorating will allow them to generate revenue year-round.
- Home-Based & Scalable: We are home-based or can be run out of a small storage facility. Because of our low investment, low overhead, and the in-demand and necessary nature of our work, this is a concept that is extremely scalable. While we don’t require it, we would love to see Owners with 5-10+ vehicles running in their market.
- Call Center: We offer a corporate call center that is open 7 days a week to assist Owners with scheduling, fielding calls, and sending appointment reminders. This allows our Franchise Owners to focus on interacting with customers, marketing, and revenue-generating activities. Our call center currently receives 500–600 calls a day!

Ideal Candidate
Franchise Owners do not need a wildlife or service background. They also do not need to feel passionate about animals. Most Owners will oversee the business from a management standpoint.
Because of this, they must be problem solvers who can stay organized with many tasks and demands. They also must love people and be able to provide excellent customer service.
We are looking for the following characteristics:
- Business acumen
- Sales or management experience
- Customer service-oriented
- Growth-minded
