Recurring pest routes, seasonal wildlife work, staff-run systems
Business Description
This mobile animal control and pest management operation supports homeowners and small commercial properties throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. Services span nuisance wildlife removal, structural exclusion work to prevent reentry, and recurring pest mitigation programs, resulting in a diversified service mix that generates activity throughout the year.
Daily operations are coordinated through a comprehensive field management platform that oversees job scheduling, technician routing, quoting, billing, and collections. Ownership involvement averages roughly 25 to 35 hours per week and centers on field execution and service oversight. The owner also maintains the ability to adjust routes, manage supplies, resolve complex customer issues, and perform technician duties when necessary. Required professional credentials are maintained in both neighboring states, including applicable wildlife and pest control authorizations. The business operates without a fixed location, keeping overhead low through a fully mobile model.
Income is spread across multiple service categories, with wildlife capture representing roughly one-fifth of revenue, structural exclusion work accounting for about two-fifths, and pest and mole control comprising the remaining share. New customers are primarily acquired through digital visibility and word-of-mouth recommendations, contributing to strong retention. While wildlife-related work fluctuates seasonally, demand peaks during warmer months and is balanced by consistent pest services and winter projects such as insulation and remediation work. Working capital needs are typical for the industry and include vehicles, equipment, materials, and receivables collected on standard monthly terms.
Opportunities for expansion include increasing promotional spend, building additional service routes, converting pest-only customers into exclusion projects, and strengthening partnerships with property management firms. Transition support is available for an extended period of six to twelve months. Depending on preference, a buyer can remain actively involved in field operations or gradually shift toward a more supervisory role using the existing systems and established workflows.
