“I’ve got a snake under my refrigerator!”

We get those calls from time to time. Call Nuisance Wildlife Removal for your Florida snake problems. Our rat-snakehighly trained professional trappers will track and retrieve the intruder, and if its not a poisonous species, we’ll take it to a different habitat better suited for a snake than your home.

If it is a poisonous variety, it will be euthanized in a quick and humane way. Florida has 45 species of snakes, and six of them are venomous. Like many predators, snakes can be beneficial in the elimination of unwanted vermin like rats and mice. That doesn’t mean you necessarily want them in your yard. We will gladly remove snakes from your house, yard, shed, pool, and even your attic (thats right, snakes can climb), and we will relocate or dispose of the snakes that we catch.

At Nuisance Wildlife Removal we specialize in the trapping and removal of rats, bats, raccoons, opossums, snakes, feral hogs, squirrels, armadillos, and moles. If its a nuisance to you, we can remove it.

What about bees, wasps, hornets or yellow jackets? Yes we take care of those too. Our trained bee removal experts will destroy and remove all traces of the nest or hive, and prevent the nuisance wildlife from getting back in

ABOUT BEES

There are about 20,000 species of bees worldwide. Many species probably have not even been discovered yet, and many are either not named or have not been well studied. Bees are found throughout the world except at the highest altitudes, in polar regions, and on some small oceanic islands. The greatest diversity of bee species is found in warm, arid or semi-arrid areas, especially in the American Southwest and Mexico. Bees range in size from tiny species, only 2 mm (0.08 in) in length, to rather large insects up to 4 cm (1.6 in) long. Many bees are black or gray, but others are bright yellow, red, or metallic green or blue.

Mother Nature has a Solution for Florida

dead-iguanaSouth Florida’s recent unusual cold weather might be helping with the problem of Non-Native species.

Pythons and other snakes, reptiles and fish are dying by the thousands as temperatures drop.

Vultures circled over Everglades National Park’s Anhinga Trail, where thousands of dead nonnative fish floated in the marshes.

About half of the Burmese pythons that have turned up in the park recently have been dead.

Dead iguanas have dropped from trees and into lawns and patios across South Florida.

And in western Miami-Dade County, three African rock pythons have turned up dead.

Although South Florida’s warm, moist climate has nurtured a vast range of non-native plants and animals, a January cold snap reminded these intruders that they’re not in Burma or Ecuador anymore.

Temperatures in the 30s have apparently killed Burmese pythons, iguanas and other unwanted species.

“Anecdotally, we might have lost maybe half of the pythons out there to the cold,” said Scott Hardin, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s exotic species coordinator. “Iguanas definitely. From a collection of observations from people, more than 50% fatality on green iguanas. . . . Lots of freshwater fish died; no way to estimate that.”

Nonnative fish that have infested the Everglades are turning up dead in the thousands, including the Mayan cichlid, walking catfish and spotfin spiny eel, said David Hallac, chief biologist at Everglades National Park.

No one knows how many Burmese pythons live in the Everglades, where some were released as unwanted pets and others found refuge after hurricanes destroyed their breeding sites. But there are a lot fewer today than there were a month ago.

Greg Graziani, a police officer who owns a reptile breeding facility, is one of several licensed python hunters who stalk snakes in the Everglades. In four days, he found two dead snakes, two live ones and one on the verge of death.

“Vultures had pecked through 12 inches by 4 inches down the back of this animal’s body,” he said. “I thought it was dead, and we reached down to pick it up, and it was very much alive.”

In cold weather, Graziani said, pythons go into a catatonic state, and if they don’t make it to a safe place to ride out the weather, they freeze to death.

“We’re finding the smaller pythons are handling it better than the large ones,” Graziani said. “The smaller ones can get into different cracks and crevices to maintain the temperatures they need.”

Yellow Jackets can bring a nasty sting

yellow-jackets and bees are our specialtyYellow Jackets, unlike honey bees, can sting repeatedly without harm to themselves. You’ll usually find them in underground burrows or tree hollows. They build their nests of a paper like subtance from chewing wood pulp. And their nests can be huge in size.

When agitated, they can get very aggressive. We recently had a technician completely covered from head to toe in a beekeeper suit, yet he was stung repeatedly through a tiny opeining in his hat that he did not know about.

If you encounter yellow jackets on your property, do not try to handle them yourself. Call an expert. We recommend  checking out this website for more information, and then CALL us.

Non-native species in Florida

Green Iguana

The powers that be in Marco island hired a wildlife trapper six months ago to catch and kill their nuisance iguanas. The complaints are that they deficate in pools, eating shrubs and flowers, and undermining foundations and seawalls. The state of Florida requires the trapper to kill them because they are a non-native species, and as such, cannot be released back into the wild once captured.

 

 

Iguanas are just one example of non-native species in Florida becoming a nuisance.

Brown Anole

Brown Anole

 

Some others are armadillos, foxes, hogs, rats, mice, and even the European rabbit. And thats just some of the mammals. The reptiles on the list include Boa constrictors, pythons, monitor lizards, and even the brown Anole. Don’t know what an Anole is? Ever seen those cute little lazards that stand on the side of a tree and make their throat stick out to warn others and attract a mate?

 

We won’t even get into the debate here about Africanized Honey Bees in Florida.

The point is that practically everything in Florida is non-native, including most of the people.

Our job here at Nuisance Wildlife Removal is to trap and remove the animals and insects that have become nuisances to people. Now you know why we can’t just move some species to another location and let them go.

More snakes found in Florida, but not in the swamps.

Delilah is 400 pounds of muscleFlorida officials recently removed two unlicensed snakes from a west Florida home. A 17 foot long female, and an 11 foot long male. The female weighed 150 pounds.

Also, an 11 foot long feral Boa Constrictor which has been seen time and time again in the St. Petersburg area over the past few months was finally tracked and caught by a professional trapper .

The same day, Delilah, an 18 foot, 400 pound Burmese python was removed from a yard in Apopka, Florida. She is 16 years old, and makes a meal of 7 rabbits. Only problem is that she tends to escape her enclosure from time to time, making the neighbors a bit nervous.

Officials determined that the chain link enclosure that contained Delilah was unsuitable, and confiscated her.

Hurricane season is here, but are you ready?

Filed under Tips for Homeowners

Once again as of June 1st, we are in the start of the Atlantic Storm Season. Here in Florida we usually just call it Hurricane season. Part of your hurricane preparedness plan might be to have your home checked for places where animals and wildlife can enter your home. Here is why.
When a storm like hurricane Charley, Wilma, or Katrina hits, its not just human habitats that are affected. Even a medium sized storm will knock down thousands of trees, even where no humans live. That forces the wildlife to seek refuge somewhere else. If the only things left standing are human structures, well thats pretty inviting to rats, squirrels, raccoons, bats and many other wild creatures.

 These squirrels found an easy access to their new home after being displaced by a storm.

 

An expert like those at Nuisance Wildlife Removal will show you where those access points to your home or business are. He will carefully inspect your roof and attic areas inside and out, and offer to fix the flaws in construction or earler damage caused by animals. The time to prevent animals from taking storm refuge in your home is now, before the storms hit. You can reach us at 866-261-WILD. Call today for a FREE inspection and cost estimate. Don’t let your house become a storm shelter for homeless and displaced animals.

Even a medium sized storm can decimate a large portion of Florida forest, and force wildlife to seek shelter elsewhere

Wildlife invades Florida homes.

abandonned-raccoon-babyWould you ask your plumber to fix your car? Of course not. He has his specialty, and so do we at Nuisance Wildlife Removal. We remove animals such as raccoons, snakes, opossoms, bats, and bee hives, when they invade peoples’ spaces. Do it your selfers often think they’ll save money by hiring a handy man or even doing the job themselves, but often that can cause a bigger problem.

The baby raccoon on the left would have died if the homeowner had gone ahead with his plan to wait until the raccoon in his attic left at night, then seal up the entrance. First of all, a mother raccoon would have just frantically made a new entrance to get to her babies, causing even more damage to the house. Secondly, if she had failed, then the owner would have the foul odor of rotting dead raccoons in his attic to deal with.

Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. His wife called NWR for a FREE assessment of the situation. We showed the owner that there was indeed a nest of babies in his attic, and that momma had more than one entrance to his house. We went to work by first convincing the mother raccoon that she should not stay any longer. To do this, we sprayed a predator scent, which alerts her to constant danger to her and her babies. In exiting the only route that we had left her, she stepped into a trap we had set.

Once the young family was evicted, we fixed all the places on the home where the raccoons had done damage to get in. Unfortunately, it was also obvious that this was not the first time this house had been used as a raccoon nursery. We ended up having to do a complete attic restoration for this home owner. We pulled out all the old insulation and disinfected the entire attic area, and sprayed for the thousands of fleas we found there. We then replaced all the insulation, and even had some crushed ventwork repaired.

By the way, this was covered by his home owner’s insurance.

The raccoons were taken to an animal rehab facility until the babies can fend for themselves in the wild.
