Every fresh roof creates a wildlife-exclusion window. The squirrels, rats, and raccoons that lived in the old attic lose their entry points the day the tear-off happens. By week one they're chewing new holes into fresh soffits and fascia. Be the company that knocks before they get back in.
Every count above is live from the PermitGrab database. Here's what's in the product.

Industry rule of thumb: 1-3% on door-hanger drops to a fresh permit list, 5-8% on a phone call when you reach the owner. Most subscribers run a tight geographic radius (2-mile loop) and pair the door-knock with a yard sign on the active install site as social proof.
Generic pest leads are homeowners who Googled 'rats in attic'. They've already got the problem. Permit-based leads are homeowners who are about to have the problem — but don't know it yet. You get to BE the expert who shows up to warn them, instead of the cleanup crew after the chewing starts.
Even with an incumbent, switching costs are low and the immediate concern (fresh attic + rodents) is a natural inflection. Lead with the inspection offer, not the contract pitch. Most subscribers close the recurring contract on the followup call 2-3 weeks later, after the inspection turns up evidence the current vendor missed.
We collect permits daily from the city and county portals. Most cities show permits within 24-48 hours of issuance. The 'Today's Hot Leads' block on each city page shows permits issued in the last 7 days.
