It's "your services" that you price accordingly...not what another experienced trapper charges.
Experienced trappers that get the job done fast and efficiently and use the proper equipment are at a higher level than any new trapper.
If your experience level is minimal you can't expect customers to pay you the same.

NWCO work isn't ADC work. Up to you to learn the difference and charge accordingly.
The "C" in both acronyms stands for "Control". The "W" stands for "Wildlife", the "A" stands for "Animal"...same thing. The "N" stands for "Nuisance"...a raccoon getting into your garbage; The "D" stands for "Damage"...a raccoon is eating all your sweetcorn. The raccoon getting into your garbage, or eating your sweetcorn both need to be removed. Please explain the difference, I'm curious.

I'm just starting out...
I charge $40 to set up...$10/day to service the traps...$50 per groundhog/coon. Beavers and skunks are closer to $100 each. I'm sure in some areas you can get away with charging much more.

Trapping nuisance wildlife work in populated areas is a small part of the business. As stated the real $$ is in repair, exclusion and prevention if you can sell it, and you know what and how to do it. X2

I only do adc trapping and that is Beaver,coyote,fox,bobcats and coons.I charge a 150 to 250 dollar setup fee depending on the location and difficulty.Then it's 25 dollars for every animal removed. Last beaver job I did was $200 set up and $100 flat tail. Half mile walk back into thick willow swamp mid summer. Caught a 60lb beaver and of course it was the furthest trap from the truck. Next day it was two 40lb beavers. About gave me a heart a tack!

I quoted a muskrat job to the homeowners association president that wanted bids to make the adjacent to the pond people happy. I told him my experience, how I would go about it, what would happen to the critters I caught, and $200 fee for a week of trapping, all in an email. Never heard back, if I got the job as low bidder I would have felt under paid.
