Retiring from job. Looking to doing part time ADC work. Is it realistic to expect a business just specializing on perhaps moles and occasional beavers to generate revenue? Not interested in bats or a lot of ladder work.

In a major city/suburb perhaps, where customers are concentrated, elsewhere would be too spread out, and owners wouldn't care so much.

If you have the moles, skill and a good business model you can develop a good little business over time. There can be good revenue in bats, birds and squrrels. They are the real money makers in a good market.

ADC can be what you want it to be, and your skill set allows it to be.

If you only want to trap moles, do it! Back before I jumped out on my own they had me doing moles all day long.

I also know a guy who only does beavers along railway easements.

If you can find a way to market yourself right and are good at sales, you can make it work.
