Wildlife in Florida

For residents in Florida, including areas like Miami, Port St. Lucie, Cape Coral, Palm Bay, Lakeland, and Clearwater, wildlife encounters can occur year-round. The state's subtropical climate supports a diverse range of animals, making proactive control a necessity for homeowners.

Choose your city

Florida's warm, humid climate means that wildlife activity doesn't cease with cooler months. Animals like raccoons, squirrels, and opossums remain active, often seeking shelter in attics and wall voids due to heavy rainfall or heat. Home construction varies, with many properties featuring both older, wood-framed houses susceptible to entry and newer homes with more robust sealing. Permitting for certain wildlife removal methods or species may be required by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, depending on the animal and the removal technique employed. When seeking assistance, look for providers who demonstrate knowledge of state regulations and local animal behaviors.

Common questions

Is there a fee for calling animal control?

The initial phone consultation with AnimalControl Experts to discuss your wildlife issue is free. Fees are associated with the actual removal or exclusion services performed on your property. These costs depend on the type of animal, the extent of the infestation, and the complexity of the required work.

What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?

The 3-3-3 rule is not a recognized wildlife control guideline. It may refer to a pet's adjustment period to a new home. For wildlife, we assess each situation based on the species, its behavior, and the specific problem it presents in your Florida home.

Who to call to pick up stray cats?

For stray cats in Florida, your local animal shelter or humane society is typically the first point of contact. If the stray cat is exhibiting aggressive behavior or appears to be a threat, AnimalControl Experts can assess the situation and provide removal services.

What animals does animal control deal with?

AnimalControl Experts in Florida handles a wide array of common nuisance wildlife. This includes raccoons, squirrels, opossums, bats, armadillos, snakes, and rodents that may enter homes or pose a threat to property or health.

How much does it cost to remove a dead animal?

The cost to remove a dead animal from your property in Florida depends on its location (e.g., attic, yard) and the difficulty of access. We provide a free phone quote to determine the specific service requirements and associated costs for removal.

What are common wildlife issues in Miami?

In Miami, common wildlife issues include raccoons in attics, squirrels damaging electrical wires, and snakes seeking shelter in garages. The warm climate supports year-round activity, making prompt removal and exclusion important to prevent further damage.
