Skedaddle pest removal - 12/27/23 10:14 PM
I am in mo way trying to disparage another wildlife removal company, I just want your alls thoughts.
Recently heard a podcast interview with the CEO of Skedaddle pest removal and apparently the big thing that sets them apart is they are “humane”, meaning they do 100% exclusion and NO live trapping. No relocating either. Their business model is basically to exclude the animals and repair the building to such a degree rendering it impossible for the animals to return. They also offer a lifetime warranty on the repairs, so If an animal returns they will repeat the job for no cost to the customer. The real eye brow raiser for me was the numbers he threw out. $2500 for average animal exclusion and as much as $6000 for rodents. Not sure who would pay that much as I just don’t see myself spending that kind of money.
Being a sole operator in the NWC area, as I assume most are also on this forum, what are your thoughts? Does this new model of pest removal threaten our tradition of Trap, remove, repair? They way I see it if you leave animals on the property eventually they will return,…. No matter what repairs you perform to the building. The other thing is if they get as much as 2500 per job, and say they return once because animals come back, the company is still making $1250 per occurrence. I always try to look at it from the customer’s perspective, and If it were me I’d rather hire someone to trap and remove for maybe 500-800 , because even if you have to call the contractor back you’re still paying less than 2500…..
What are everyone’s thoughts?
