Get Bent Academy: Revolutionizing Wildlife Control Through Expert Exclusion Training

In the evolving field of wildlife control, professionals are often on the front lines of protecting homes and businesses from invasive animal intrusions. While trapping and removal are necessary components of the job, exclusion—the practice of keeping animals out in the first place—is the long-term solution that sets skilled professionals apart. This is where Get Bent Academy steps in, offering industry-leading training that empowers wildlife control technicians with the knowledge and precision needed to master exclusion techniques.

What Is Get Bent Academy?

Get Bent Academy is more than just a training program—it’s a movement toward higher standards, smarter work, and sustainable results in wildlife control. The academy provides hands-on, practical instruction rooted in real-world scenarios, teaching professionals how to properly identify access points, understand animal behavior, and implement exclusion strategies that are both effective and humane.

From chimney capping and soffit repair to attic vent sealing and crawl space protection, Get Bent Academy offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to give technicians the tools they need to do the job right the first time. The academy is led by industry veterans who have seen the pitfalls of poor exclusion firsthand and are passionate about elevating the trade.

Why Is Exclusion Training So Important?

1. It Protects Clients Long-Term
   
   • Wildlife removal without effective exclusion is a temporary fix. Animals will return if they can. Training ensures professionals understand how to create durable barriers and prevent re-entry, saving clients time, money, and stress.

1. It Builds Reputation and Trust
   
   • Professionals trained through Get Bent Academy are equipped to deliver long-lasting solutions. This kind of quality work fosters customer trust, leading to stronger reviews, repeat business, and word-of-mouth referrals.

1. It Improves Safety and Ethics
   
   • Exclusion is a humane approach. Instead of relying solely on traps or relocation, technicians are taught to respect wildlife while safeguarding human environments. Proper training minimizes harm to animals and reduces technician exposure to dangerous situations.

1. It Sets You Apart in the Industry
   
   • In a competitive market, training is a clear differentiator. Get Bent Academy-certified professionals demonstrate a higher level of skill, professionalism, and commitment to doing things the right way.

1. It Saves Time and Money
   
   • Mistakes in exclusion can be costly. A poorly sealed roofline or missed gable vent might require multiple callbacks. Training eliminates guesswork, increasing efficiency and reducing warranty claims.
