From Backyard to Boardroom: The Growth of AAAC Wildlife Removal
In this episode of Emerging Franchise Brands, we meet Josie and Brian Moss, the dynamic leaders of AAAC Wildlife Removal. What began as a franchise purchase during Brian’s transition from the Army has grown into a standout franchise system serving 14 states with 21 locations—and plenty of room to grow.
Brian, dubbed the “World’s Greatest Trapper,” handles the field operations with the same calm he brings to handling a 12-foot gator or an escaped cobra. Josie brings the structure, business savvy, and franchise leadership that helped transform AAAC into the polished, professional brand it is today.
After acquiring the original company in 2014, the Mosses focused on rebranding, training, and building systems that support franchisees from day one. Their Houston-based headquarters now serves as the training hub for new owners and staff, with hands-on education covering everything from fieldwork to back-office operations.
AAAC’s ideal franchisee pairs business discipline with a readiness for hands-on work—often best served through husband-wife teams or partnerships. The Mosses emphasize the family-like culture within the system and offer constant support to help franchisees succeed.
With territories still available in prime markets like Atlanta, Jacksonville, and Raleigh, Josie and Brian see big potential ahead. As they continue to scale, they’re staying true to their roots: providing honest service, top-tier training, and a support structure built on trust and experience.
Whether you’re passionate about the outdoors or looking for a recession-resistant business, AAAC Wildlife Removal offers more than just animal control—it offers a unique opportunity to build something wild and rewarding.
