💩 Why it's ugly

You climb ladders, enter hot attics, handle chewed insulation, and explain to homeowners that the scratching sound has a face. Sometimes several faces.

💰 Why it prints money

Wildlife exclusion combines urgent removal with repair work. Customers pay for trapping, one-way doors, entry sealing, fascia repair, insulation cleanup, and future prevention.

🗺️ 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.
