Why Choose Professional Wildlife Removal Services?
Serving Central FL, Northern FL, Southeastern FL and the Panhandle
We are no strangers to wildlife here in Florida. Unfortunately, wildlife can become a problem when they come into conflict with people and property. When animals access your property, they can damage structures and landscapes, and even pose a health risk.
If you experience wildlife activity like bats in the attic, skunks nesting under your porch, or a wild animal running through your yard, it’s vital to enlist the help of a professional pest control expert. We offer a wildlife control service that implements exclusion and prevention solutions, as well as the humane removal of wildlife from your property, creating worry-free protection for your family and pets.
Expertise in Handling Various Wildlife
Wildlife intrusion can be a big problem. Squirrels, raccoons, and opossums often break into attics and soffits, chewing wires and making nests. Skunks, rodents, and groundhogs dig under buildings, weakening foundations. Bats leave behind harmful guano, and dead animals create strong odors that need proper removal.
Trying to handle wildlife removal on your own can be dangerous. Pest control companies use safe, humane methods to remove nuisance animals and stop them from coming back.
Florida Pest Control offers expert pest control services, including exclusion services, to seal entry points and prevent future problems.
Humane and Ethical Removal Methods
Our wildlife removal focuses on treating animals with care. Instead of using harmful traps or poison, we take care to use humane methods like live trapping and safe relocation.
We follow state and federal laws to make sure nuisance wildlife is handled the right way. The goal is to remove critters safely while protecting both people and wildlife.
Long-Term Prevention Solutions
Getting rid of nuisance wildlife is just the first step. To keep animals from coming back, we take important steps, such as:
- Sealing entry points – Closing gaps in roofs, walls, and foundations to prevent wildlife from getting inside.
- Installing deterrents – Using barriers and repellents to keep animals away.
- Providing expert advice – Helping homeowners secure food sources and remove anything that attracts wildlife.
With Florida Pest Control, you get a safe, humane, and long-lasting solution to your wildlife problem. Learn more about our wildlife exclusion services.

Wildlife Removal for YOUR HOME
Wild animals have no place in your home. Property damage caused by wildlife can be costly, not to mention the threat posed to your pets from a potential raccoon encounter. If animals have taken up residence on your property, it’s best to contact a wildlife removal expert.
At Florida Pest Control, our wildlife control team will perform a home inspection to determine the wildlife species, and implement a plan for their humane removal and prevention of future infestations.
Signs You Have a Wildlife Problem
Wild animals can cause trouble if they get into your home or yard. Knowing the warning signs can help you fix the problem before it gets worse. Here are some common things to look out for:
1. Noises in Walls or Attics
If you hear scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds in your attic or walls, animals may be inside. Squirrels, raccoons, and rodents often move in to find shelter.
Chirping or squeaking noises could mean baby animals are present. Getting an inspection can help find out what’s causing the sounds and how to remove them.
2. Damage to Property or Landscaping
Wildlife can chew, dig, and tear things apart. If you see chewed wires, shredded insulation, or holes in walls, animals might be living inside.
Outside, burrows in your yard, holes under your porch, or ruined plants could mean moles, voles, or armadillos are around. Fixing the problem early can stop more damage from happening.
3. Droppings or Tracks Around Your Home
Animal waste is a clear sign that wildlife has been near your home. Raccoons, rodents, and opossums often leave droppings in attics, garages, or near food. Footprints in mud or dust can also help you figure out what kind of animal is visiting.
Some droppings, like bat guano, can be dangerous, so it’s important to clean them up safely.
4. Unpleasant Odors Indoors or Outdoors
A bad smell that won’t go away could mean an animal has died in your home or that a critter is nesting somewhere hidden.
Skunks are well-known for their strong odor, but raccoons and rodents can also create bad smells with their waste. If you notice an unusual scent, it’s best to find the cause and take care of it quickly.

Inspection and Identification
The first step is a detailed check of your property. Our team looks for openings, nests, and other signs of activity. We figure out which animals are causing problems – whether it’s a raccoon in the attic, squirrels in the walls, or another critter. This helps us choose the best way to remove them.

Once we know what we’re dealing with, we set up the right traps to capture the animal safely. We use methods that follow state rules and focus on keeping the process as stress-free as possible.
Whether it’s moving a raccoon, handling a skunk, or relocating an opossum, we make sure the job is done the right way.

Prevention and Exclusion Measures
To keep animals from returning, we close off weak spots like broken vents, gaps in the roof, or openings around pipes. Sealing these spaces stops new critters from moving in. Our team also gives advice on how to make your property less inviting to wildlife in the future.

How to Prevent Nuisance Wildlife on Your Property
Wild animals can damage your home and create safety risks if they get too close. While experts should handle wildlife removal, you can take steps to make your property less attractive to unwanted visitors.
1. Seal Entry Points Around Your Home
Even small openings in walls, roofs, or foundations can let animals inside. Squirrels, raccoons, and rodents often squeeze through tiny gaps in soffits, vents, and attics to build nests.
Check your home for cracks or holes and seal them with strong materials like metal mesh or heavy-duty caulk. Cover chimneys and vents with secure screens to block access while still allowing proper airflow.
2. Keep Outdoor Areas Clean and Secure
Cluttered yards, overgrown plants, and woodpiles create perfect hiding spots for critters. Tall grass and thick bushes give animals places to nest and hide from predators. Keep your lawn trimmed and remove any debris, like fallen branches or piles of leaves. Store firewood at least a foot off the ground and away from your house.
Garbage cans should have tight-fitting lids to stop raccoons, opossums, and other animals from getting inside.
3. Remove Food Sources and Shelter Opportunities
Animals are always searching for food, and even small amounts can attract them. Pet food left outside, overflowing bird feeders, open compost bins, and fallen fruit can bring wildlife closer to your home. Store food in sealed containers and clean up any leftovers right away.
Also, check under porches, sheds, and decks for signs of nesting. Blocking off these spaces with durable materials can prevent animals from moving in.
4. Use Wildlife Deterrents When Necessary
Sometimes, extra steps are needed to keep wildlife away. Motion-activated lights, sprinklers, or noise devices can scare off certain animals. Fencing can also help, especially for keeping out larger pests like raccoons or skunks.
Natural repellents, such as citrus peels or vinegar, may work for some critters, but they are not a long-term solution. If wildlife has already moved onto your property, deterrents won’t solve the problem, and professional removal will be needed.
If you already have a wildlife issue, or need professional help with keeping critters away, the Florida Pest Control can help.
Why Timely Wildlife Removal is Important
When wildlife invades your home or property, it’s important to act quickly. Delaying wildlife removal can lead to bigger problems. Here’s why timely removal is key:
Protect Your Family’s Safety and Health
Wild animals can bring serious health risks into your home. They may carry diseases like rabies, ticks, or parasites that can spread to your family or pets.
For example, raccoons can bite or scratch, spreading infections. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, can contaminate food and surfaces with their waste. Acting fast to remove animals helps prevent potential exposure to these dangers and keeps your family safe.
Prevent Property Damage
Animals that get into your attic, walls, or yard can cause a lot of damage. Squirrels and raccoons often chew on wires, insulation, or wood, which can lead to expensive repairs. Moles and armadillos dig tunnels that can destroy a lawn or garden. If you don’t deal with the problem right away, the damage can get worse.
Removing the animals quickly stops them from causing more harm and helps protect your home, place of business or yard.
Avoid Potential Legal Issues with Protected Species
In Florida, some animals, like bats and certain birds, are protected by law. This means it’s illegal to harm or move them without the right permits.
Removing wildlife from your property quickly helps you stay within the law. Experts know how to handle these protected animals safely and properly. If you wait too long, you could face legal problems or fines for breaking the rules.
