MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control announced the launch of its latest franchise location in Minneapolis, Minn. The newest franchise owners are Twin Cities residents Brett Robertson and Matt Sanders, who said they are excited to bring humane wildlife removal and exclusion services to home and business owners in Minneapolis.

Before becoming business partners, Sanders and Robertson began as colleagues working in a Fortune 500 company. The corporate world provided each of them with valuable skills and experience but also fueled a desire to one day go into business for themselves.

They began looking for a business opportunity that would allow them to have a more direct and positive impact close to home. After evaluating a number of concepts they decided to take the plunge into entrepreneurship with Skedaddle. 

Instead of trapping and relocating wildlife, Skedaddle uses a unique hands-on approach to remove wildlife, clean up the mess animals have left behind and install barriers to prevent re-entry. After Skedaddle has secured all the vulnerable areas of a home, they provide clients a lifetime guarantee on their workmanship and materials against future wildlife entry.

It can be stressful for homeowners when raccoons move into their attic or mice can be heard chewing behind walls. Sanders and Robertson look forward to bringing Skedaddle’s humane approach to wildlife to Minneapolis. 

“We are excited to see our wildlife services implemented in the community, and witness how they help homeowners during extremely stressful times. We understand that homeowners are looking for a permanent solution, and we are proud to provide them with trustworthy services from local technicians who understand the area and the wildlife,” said Roberston.

Skedaddle was founded in Canada in 1989, and has since expanded operations to the U.S. Minneapolis, Minn., joins existing U.S. Skedaddle franchise locations in Wisconsin and Maryland, and signals the growing need for humane, long-lasting wildlife removal services across North America.
