Whether it’s a raccoon in your eaves or an opossum in the attic, our wildlife exclusion trappers are skilled handlers and removal experts.

Common Nuisance Wildlife in Florida

Florida’s warm climate and diverse ecosystems attract a variety of nuisance wildlife. Many wild animals look for food, water, and shelter near homes, which can lead to potential wildlife problems. Knowing the habits and risks of common species can help homeowners spot early signs of trouble before it gets out of hand.

Armadillos

Armadillos are mostly active at night and are great diggers. They often burrow near homes, gardens, and decks, which can damage foundations and underground pipes. Their digging can also ruin landscaping, leaving unsightly holes in yards.

Fox Squirrels

Fox squirrels are larger than most squirrels and are active during the day. If they can find entry points, they build nests (called dreys), high in trees or attics. They chew through wood, insulation, and even wiring, creating fire hazards.

Moles

Moles live mostly underground, digging tunnels in search of insects. Their tunnels can damage lawns, gardens, and ornamental plants by uprooting them and collapsing soil. Even though moles rarely surface, their damage is easy to spot.

Opossums

Opossums are opportunistic feeders and scavengers. They often gather near garbage cans, compost piles, or pet food dishes. These animals may take shelter in crawl spaces, garages, or attics. While generally not aggressive, they can carry parasites and diseases that pose health risks to humans and pets.

Raccoons

Raccoons are intelligent and adaptable. They can invade attics, basements, and sheds by finding entry points in roofs, soffits, and vents. Inside, they can damage insulation and leave droppings that pose health risks.

Skunks

Skunks are known for their strong spray, which they use to defend themselves. They often dig burrows under porches, sheds, and decks. Besides their odor, they can carry diseases like rabies and damage lawns while hunting for insects.

Voles

Voles are small rodents that make visible runways through lawns and gardens. They gnaw on trees, shrubs, and plants that can be hard to fix, and potentially cause significant damage to the local ecosystem. Unlike moles, voles mainly eat vegetation, and their activity can quickly ruin a well-kept yard.

If you notice signs of wildlife activity on your property that could pose a pest risk, seek professional wildlife removal services for the best results. Our trained experts in wildlife control can perform a full inspection, safely manage animal removal, and recommend exclusion strategies to protect your home.

Our Humane Trapping and Removal Process

When wild animals invade your home or yard, they can cause damage and spread germs. Effective trapping practices are designed to protect both people and wild animals. Using the right tools ensures humane removal. Only trained professionals should handle wildlife trapping to reduce animal injury and stress. DIY traps can harm animals and may not solve the wildlife problem. For safety and success, contact a licensed wildlife removal company to address entry points, perform cleanup, and suggest exclusion methods.

Inspection and Assessment

Our team starts by inspecting your property. We look for entry points, signs of activity, and the species involved. We check areas like the roof, chimney, soffit, and attic for damage. This step helps us create a safe and effective wildlife control plan.

Ethical and Humane Trapping Methods

Animal trapping plays a key role in wildlife management. It provides a humane way to remove animals from your property. Our trapping method uses a wire cage with one or two overhead doors. Florida Pest wildlife trappers choose traps based on the species and get the proper permit when required. We aim to release the animals back into the wild, away from residential areas.

We will inspect your property and come up with a custom solution to solve your pest issue. Here are some benefits of our wildlife trapping services:

1. We securely remove animals from your property using humane methods that protect them.
2. After removal, we relocate and release the animals into their natural habitats.
3. Florida Pest Control works with local nonprofits to rehabilitate sick or injured animals.

Relocation and Release Procedures

Once we have trapped the animal, we focus on relocation. Our team will move the animal to a better environment, away from homes, and based on the species and local laws. We follow all guidance and optimal wildlife removal practices to reduce stress and ensure a successful release. Our goal is to help both the homeowner but also minimize the stress on the animal.

Post-Removal Repairs and Exclusion

After removing the animals, we can fix any disturbance caused during removal  and seal gaps to help prevent future infestations. A chimney cap, soffit repairs, and crack sealing are some solutions we recommend to deter wildlife from returning.
