💩 Why it's ugly

Bat droppings, attic heat, respirators, and tiny access hatches combine into a business school case study in discomfort. Also, customers say “just clean it” until you mention disease risk, exclusion timing, and insulation removal.

💰 Why it prints money

Few contractors want regulated wildlife cleanup with respiratory PPE and attic labor. Pricing is strong because the work combines exclusion, remediation, insulation handling, odor control, and homeowner anxiety into one necessary project.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
