TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. —Critter Control Founder and CEO Kevin Clark recently was profiled in Home Business magazine for an article titled “Homeowners Service Franchise: Million Dollar Idea - Control ‘Critter’ Invasions, Nationwide.”
The article told the Critter Control story. In 1982, Detroit metropolitan based chimney sweep Kevin Clark received a call to remove a raccoon from a chimney. The caller said they had phoned all over town to everyone they could think of to help solve their problem, but nobody dealt with marauding wildlife. Clark began calling pest control companies and animal control officers in the metropolitan Detroit area, and confirmed the caller’s predicament. Seizing the opportunity, Clarks' Critter Control was born. Five years later Critter Control, Inc. was incorporated and began franchising the concept. Wildlife damage complaints in urban areas were increasing all across the United States, and the company added an average of one new office a month over the next decade.
Today, Critter Control is North America's largest wildlife pest control firm, with more than 100 offices coast-to-coast. It is the 20th largest pest control company in the United States, according to Pest Control Technology magazine, which annually ranks the Top 100 companies in the industry. announced the opening of new franchise markets, taking its market penetration to 110 offices in North America.
