Wildlife Removal Company

[rstodd]

Is anyone in the wildlife removal business on here?
I'm curious to what permits you need to remove wildlife from private properties.
I see a few trucks driving around with wildlife removal on the side, and wondered if it something I could get into.
I like trapping coons and possums on my property.
I'm in West Tennessee north of Memphis Area.

At one time there was a company called Critter Getter here in mid Tennessee.
Be prepared skunks are often needed to be replaced.

Contact the TWRA Nashville office, I think Rusty Boles handles the permits.

Crawl spaces and attics are their bread and butter, bats and squirrels.

Don't forget Rat removal from septic tanks.

I looked into it a while back. Not to discourage you but there isn't much profit in the animal part. The money is in the exclusion services needed to keep them from coming back. Installing chimney caps/screens. Fixing soffits and adding hardware cloth to openings. Basically construction/handyman stuff.

Apparently it depends where you are. A former co-worker opened his business after retirement. He told me he made much more money doing ADC than what he made working for Tennessee. He had 3 trucks in his fleet when he sold his business. He still traps hunting leases in Tenn, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

I worked for critter control for 7 years. The money is in the exclusion work. And you better be good at the exclusion work to have happy customers. Throwin some wire mesh over a hole dont cut it. Lots of roof flashing and attic crawling!

With the influx Of big city folks it might be profitable nowadays. They want to live in the country but are scared of everything in it. I thought about it 20 years ago but most people just killed them themselves back then.
