💩 Why it's ugly

Roosting birds turn signs, sidewalks, awnings, solar panels, docks, and warehouse ledges into chalky biohazard confetti. The job is overhead, messy, and usually discovered after someone important steps in it.

💰 Why it prints money

Retail centers, warehouses, marinas, parking garages, schools, and building owners need droppings removed for appearance, slip risk, equipment protection, and tenant complaints. Add-on prevention work like spikes, netting referrals, and scheduled washing can make accounts recurring.

🗺️ 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.
