Well I want to get into the business of Animal control (we have none here) how do I get started? And what do I need to do? Test? Training? Any information is wanted. Please let me know as soon as possible thanks! I'm in the southeast region of Idaho.

Make sure that you have enough work to make a living. I read some place you need a service area of 250,000 people. JMO

The first two tools I would buy is a Land Navigator, don't pay over $120.00 for one. The second would be a log book. Log your travel time, stopped time, millage, expenses etc. Time is money. You will be surprised on how much time you can spend at one site. This will help you estimate jobs when first starting out.

I've been taking notes! Thanks guys. What legal stuff do I need to do through? And we only have about 3000 people where I live it's a small community. We have no animal collectors (ANH) is the only one and it don't even get any new animals in.

Your DNR can answer that question, they are the ones that govern the permitting of WDC personal. In Michigan anyway.

As stated a couple other times start with the dnr Then register for an LLC, set up business account At the bank get liability insurance. Put your business On your vehicle. Start a few local adds and spread out from There. I would start with land animals first then maybe get some Training for bats and advertise for them. But equipment As you grow your business. How many ppl are within an Hour radius of you?
