About Skedaddle
- Low Investment & Strong Sales Growth: Skedaddle Owners can start their business for only $102K. Not only that, our U.S. Franchise Owner saw over 36% sales growth over the last three years!* - Semi-Absentee 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 out there, the number of companies focused on the protection and prevention of animals 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. In fact, during 2020, we saw strong year-over-year growth and record sales numbers! Every home in any city is vulnerable to mice, bats, birds, etc, and yet there is no national company 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. In fact, our call center currently receives 500-600 calls a day!
By constructing and installing permanent wildlife and pest protection solutions, Skedaddle provides customers with peace of mind when it comes to their largest asset, their homes. In every home, there are vulnerable areas that allow mice, bats, birds, raccoons, etc. to enter. Skedaddle provides homeowners a permanent solution to issues that inevitably arise as humans and animals collide. Our unique and proprietary methodology focuses on placing a one-way door in these weak areas, waiting for the animals to exit, and sealing the entry holes. From there, we provide our customers a lifetime guarantee that the animal will not enter the dwelling again. With every city facing some sort of animal issue, this is a highly in-demand concept in an extremely fragmented industry. The only “competition” we ever experience is “Chuck-in-a-truck” trappers who can never match our level of expertise and professionalism. With over 33 years in this industry, we are certain Skedaddle will thrive in any city we enter. If you don’t believe there’s a need for this type of service in your area, ask around because everyone we talk to has an animal encounter story!
