Although we offer trapping services under certain circumstances, we prefer to use alternate, more humane methods which we have successfully employed for many years.

Trapping alone will only be a temporary solution, particularly in Florida where there are many animals that can and will quickly take their place. Not only have we found no trap no kill humane methods to be the most cost effective, but they've proven to be the longest lasting ones too.

Our methods include exclusion and home modifications, which seldom involve trapping, harming, harassing or handling the animal directly.

Raccoons

Raccoons make up one of the largest mammal populations on Pine Island. Stilt homes are popular on the island and these are easy access for them. When it comes to stilt homes, the raccoon just goes through the unprotected ground floor, as opposed to going through the roof, and they're right where they want to be - inside your home.

Raccoons also attack mobile homes at ground level. All they have to do is tear away the skirting, which is no trouble for them at all, and they're in.

Once inside they can be dangerous, do a lot of damage and bring lice, fleas, and roundworms along with them. Raccoons are not something you want inside your home and they can be vicious and dangerous.

If you have a raccoon problem it is best to call a professional for all your raccoon removal needs. We can remove raccoons from your home, make the necessary repairs and make the proper modifications to keep them out or ensure they don't come back.

Raccoons are one of may kinds of wildlife that can do a lot of damage before you even realize you have them. It is always best to be proactive and proof your home now - before they've had a chance to get in.

Squirrels

Some Pine Island residents see squirrels as a welcome part of the island lifestyle, enjoying their amusing antics and acrobatic tree climbing abilities. We love squirrels too, just not inside or around the home.

Once a squirrel gets inside or around your home they can chew on electrical wiring, chew the bark off trees, breed and make little squirrels.

A variety of squirrels like to make their nests in Pine Island homes from St. James City to Bokeelia. We get a lot of squirrel in attic calls, they love to nest in attics and have babies year round in Florida. Squirrel removal is one of our most frequent wildlife control requests.

Bats

Bats are a common problem on Pine Island, the area is warm, temperate and prolific in vegetation. The water sources are abundant and bats simply have everything they need.

Several bat species live in the Pine Island area, including St. James, Pineland, Pine Center and Bokeelia. These species include the Brazilian free-tail (also known as the Mexican free-tail bat), the big-eared bat, southeastern myotis, and evening bat.

Bat Control Info

Bat removal involves letting the bats out through a specially constructed one-way escape valve. Bats love attics and will try to return, modifying the structure to exclude the bats from getting back in at a later time is an important part of the bat removal process. Bats are a protected species in Florida, they cannot be trapped and relocated.

Bats In Attic

In Pine Island, bat removal is restricted to certain times of the year. We know when and how bats can be controlled without violating any regulations or causing any secondary problems.

If your problem occurs during the restricted season we can help you proof the living areas of your home to safely sperate you from the bats, so you can rest assured you will be safe until the proper time arrives.

Bat removal and exclusion is one of our specialties and we have been doing it humanely and successfully for many years - the right way and within the legal guidelines.

Lizards, Geckos & Iguanas

Lizards, geckos and iguanas are an ever increasing problem on Pine Island, made worse by the new construction in the area.

Smaller lizards and geckos love to get into homes and lanais. Some home owners find them adorable but they can be a nuisance and their droppings can build up and quickly become a problem.

Iguanas are fast becoming a problem for Pine Island residents, they eat vegetation, get into attics, grow to become quite large, and create all kinds of havoc. Iguanas have sharp claws, powerful tails and can be very hazardous when trying to defend themselves from pets or people. Nile monitors have recently been spotted on the island too, Nile monitors prey upon pets and precious wildlife.

Trapping and handling black spiny-tailed and green iguanas, Tegus and Nile monitors can be very dangerous and it should be left to the experts. We can help you trap and remove iguanas and Nile monitors and we can proof your home and lanai to keep them from getting in.
