We're going to teach you how to do wildlife properly.” “It would be a great add-on service for any pest operator in America because they already have the service trucks and labor. “Our average ticket or price per job, typically falls anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 versus a spider treatment that might only be a couple hours ,” Dowd said. Most business in Canada came from customers seeing the green service trucks on the road with large animals on them, said Dowd.ĭowd said there’s opportunities for pest control operators to gain another source of revenue from adding wildlife services to their offerings. The population is increasing, and our sales revenue tends to increase, so the secret is to wildlife-proof your home.” “We take the approach that it’s not the animal’s, they’re here to stay. “We’re not trapping and relocating animals companies that just dabble in wildlife and it’s not their main source of revenue,” Dowd said. “Every single city we went into, we exploded and couldn’t keep up with the demand for our services.”ĭowd said Skedaddle developed a unique approach to animal treatment where employees are trained on humane and hands-on removal. “I figured there must be animals in Ottawa, so we went up there and it was a success,” he said.

Mueller recently purchased a second territory in Madison, and is looking to buy the Green Bay market, Dowd said. Mueller, for example, has a master of science in wildlife ecology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he studied coyotes and foxes and was “looking for unique, humane business model.” “You don’t need any information or experience in wildlife to be a franchise operator. © Skedaddle Mueller sealing the deal with Dowd.
