Who is Crocodile Dave?

Crocodile Dave Services, founded by Dave Kranich, brings over two decades of expertise to the pest and wildlife control industry. Dave’s journey began prior to 2000 as an apprentice home builder, where he identified a critical link between construction practices and pest vulnerabilities. This foundational insight into home building sparked his passion for developing innovative, effective critter-proofing and pest control solutions. Since launching Crocodile Dave Services in 2000, Dave has grown the company into a trusted name in wildlife management while earning his state pest control operator’s license. In 2014, the company expanded to include a pest control division, offering comprehensive services to meet the evolving needs of its wildlife control clients.

Today, Crocodile Dave Services is a small, dedicated team of state-certified professionals renowned for delivering top-tier critter exclusion and pest management in Atlanta. Our unique approach—rooted in an understanding of home construction—sets us apart, making us a preferred partner for homeowners and real estate professionals seeking to protect properties from wildlife and pest intrusions. We specialize in tailored solutions that enhance property value and safety, ensuring peace of mind for clients.

Based in Tucker, GA, Dave lives with his wife Jessica and their sons, Alex and Gavin. A certified rescue diver and ice hockey enthusiast, he also enjoys gardening, farming, and training in martial arts.
