Skedaddle

By constructing and installing permanent wildlife and pest protection solutions, Skedaddle provides customers with peace of mind when it comes to their largest asset, their homes. In every home, there are vulnerable areas that allow mice, bats, birds, raccoons, etc. to enter. Skedaddle provides homeowners with a permanent solution to issues that inevitably arise as humans and animals collide. Our unique and proprietary methodology focuses on placing a one-way door in these weak areas, waiting for the animals to exit, and sealing the entry holes. From there, we provide our customers with a lifetime guarantee that the animal will not enter the dwelling again. With every city facing some sort of animal issue, this is a highly in-demand concept in an extremely fragmented industry. The only “competition” we ever experience is “chuck-in-a-truck” trappers who can never match our level of expertise and professionalism. With over 33 years in this industry, we are certain Skedaddle will thrive in any city we enter. If you don’t believe there’s a need for this type of service in your area, ask around because everyone we talk to has an animal encounter story!
