💩 Why it's ugly

The work is seasonal, urgent, and occasionally performed while a homeowner watches from behind glass like you are testing a moon landing. Also, the product is angry.

💰 Why it prints money

Startup costs are low, jobs are quick, and emergency scheduling supports strong minimum fees. It works especially well as an add-on to general pest, lawn, gutter, or handyman routes.

🗺️ 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.
