Coming to St. Louis, Spring 2026

The name “Gargoyle Academy” carries deep symbolism rooted in both history and purpose. Traditionally, gargoyles were carved stone figures placed on ancient buildings not only as decorative features but as guardians, protecting the structures and the people within. In the same spirit, The Gargoyle Academy embodies that same mission of protection and vigilance. Just as gargoyles safeguarded cathedrals from harm, students trained at the academy stand as modern guardians of property, using their skills and knowledge to defend against damage, disease, and disruption caused by pest and nuisance wildlife. The gargoyle thus serves as a timeless emblem of defense, craftsmanship, and integrity—values at the heart of the academy’s mission.

 
The Gargoyle Academy is the premier training institution dedicated to educating and empowering its students in the art and science of pest and nuisance wildlife management and exclusion. At the Gargoyle Academy, Training goes beyond the basics, offering an ever-evolving lineup of multiple levels of courses and specialty workshops, with hand selected industry leading Specialized Master Instructors. At its core, the academy focuses on providing hands-on, practical training that blends field expertise with proven techniques for protecting homes, businesses, and communities from pest and wildlife intrusion.
