A Comprehensive Understanding of the Whole Home Exclusion™ Process
who pass NWCOA’s Exclusion Product Installation Certification (EPIC) course will also receive a HY-GUARD EXCLUSION Certified Installer certificate. The EPIC course is open both to NWCOA members and non-NWCOA members alike. Seasoned and novice wildlife control operators are welcome, as are wildlife control business owners. More broadly, the course is open to any individual interested in rounding out their Integrated Pest Management (IPM) skill set. Whether you’re a veteran WCO or a pest control operator looking to try their hand at wildlife control, the EPIC course and the HY-GUARD EXCLUSION Certified Installer certificate are open to you.
NWCOA’s EPIC course drills down deeply on the ins and outs of these products, providing critical insights into how you should use them on your customers’ homes. In earning your certificate, you’ll become familiar with HY-GUARD EXCLUSION’S repertoire of wildlife exclusion solutions, and you’ll gain proficiency in installing them correctly.
2. TO NETWORK
Though there are thousands of wildlife control operators throughout the United States, the industry itself is relatively niche. Wildlife control and exclusion devices both require specialized sets of knowledge, and WCOs everywhere gain valuable insights from talking to each other about the industry. When you take NWCOA’s EPIC course, you’ll spend a lot of time with many other wildlife control operators. You’ll have the opportunity to swap stories and compare notes about animal exclusion methods that have served you well in the past. You’ll also get to know key professionals in the wildlife control industry. In a business built on relationships and referrals, it never hurts to know as many people as possible.
WHY SHOULD YOU EARN A HY-GUARD EXCLUSION CERTIFIED INSTALLER CERTIFICATION?
Now that you have a bit of background information on the certification itself, it’s important to consider why you may want to earn a certified in- staller certificate. There are plenty of reasons, but we’re going to high- light three here.
DON’T JUST REMOVE. EXCLUDE. ™
1. TO GAIN PRODUCT EXPERTISE
When you’re within 25 miles of a saltwater coast, should you use galvanized steel Pest Armor or stainless steel Pest Armor? Is a slip-in chimney guard good enough to keep out raccoons, or should you use a bolt-on style? Which size dryer vents do 6-inch and 8-inch dryer vent covers fit over?
3. TO BUILD YOUR RESUME AND REPUTATION AS A WCO
Of course, exclusion products aren’t the only aspect of the wildlife control industry. Some WCOs tend to focus on specific animals, especially depending on the region in which they operate. Some specialize in traps, while others may offer a combination of wildlife control and pest control services.
Installing wildlife exclusion devices requires plenty of technical knowledge and an in-depth understanding of the products themselves.
