If you’ve noticed more raccoons in the attic or feral hogs rooting through your yard in Sarasota or Manatee counties, there’s a new local team ready to help. A national franchise known for its full-service, humane approach to wildlife problems has just planted a flag in the region, and the timing comes as the company reports a sharp jump in system-wide sales.
AAAC Wildlife Removal has opened a new territory in Sarasota, Florida, expanding its footprint in the state and bringing locally led wildlife control services to Sarasota and Manatee counties. The office officially opened Nov. 1, 2026.

The new office, AAAC Wildlife Removal of Sarasota, is owned by Brian and Josie Moss, who also lead AAAC Wildlife Removal as president and chief executive officer. Brian Moss is a U.S. Army veteran who retired as a master sergeant after more than 22 years of service and opened his first wildlife removal office in 2007. Property owners can reach the new office at 941-393-0304 or at www.sarasota.aaacwildliferemoval.com.
The territory covers Sarasota and Manatee counties, including communities such as downtown Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Longboat Key, Osprey, Nokomis, Fruitville, Palmer Ranch, Bee Ridge, Southgate and Gulf Gate Estates. The office provides humane wildlife removal and trapping, exclusion and entry-point sealing, wildlife damage repair, attic cleanup and restoration, and dead animal removal. Those services address problems involving raccoons, squirrels, bats, rodents, birds, snakes and other nuisance wildlife at homes and businesses.
“Sarasota and Manatee County families deserve a local team that will remove the animal, seal the home and repair the damage,” said Brian Moss, co-owner of AAAC Wildlife Removal of Sarasota. “We are here to protect homes and businesses with the same humane, full-service approach AAAC is known for across the country.”
The Sarasota opening is the company’s fourth Florida location, joining existing offices in Tampa, the Treasure Coast and the Palm Beaches. In 2025, system sales rose 21.37%, and 16 offices surpassed their prior-year results, according to the company’s 2026 State of the Franchise presentation. In June 2026, AAAC was named to the PCT Top 100 list for the first time and was the only wildlife-specialist firm recognized on that ranking of North America’s largest pest control companies, which is based on 2025 revenues and published by Pest Control Technology magazine.
“Opening Sarasota is part of a broader plan to put AAAC teams in communities where homeowners and businesses need professional wildlife help,” said Vincent Flores, franchise development officer at AAAC Wildlife Removal. “Florida has already shown strong demand, and this territory lets us serve the Sarasota and Manatee County market with the same standard of humane removal, exclusion and restoration that defines the brand. We are also looking for qualified franchise owners who want to build that kind of business in other open markets.”
Franchise opportunities are available in select markets nationwide. Information is available at www.wildlifefranchise.info.

Why it matters: As Florida’s human-wildlife conflicts grow with development, this expansion signals that the demand for professional, humane animal control is outpacing local mom-and-pop operations. For homeowners and business owners in Sarasota and Manatee counties, the arrival of a nationally recognized franchise means access to a standardized, full-service approach — from trapping to attic restoration — that smaller operators often cannot match.
