Bee And Wasp Removal

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Africanized Honey Bees swarming

Bee and Wasp Removal Services

It takes 10 bee stings for every pound that you weigh, to kill the average non-allergic human. If your child weighs 85 pounds and gets 850 stings, it could be fatal. There are an average of 10,000 to 40,000 bees in the typical hive. If they are Africanized bees, they would be more aggressive and more likely to inflict the maximum stings possible, even if seemingly unprovoked.

We Are The Wildlife Trapper Service You Need

At Wildlife Trapper our certified Africanized Honey Bee (AHB or “Killer Bee”) removal technicians have been removing bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets from residential & commercial properties, both interior and exterior. For more than 10 years we have been servicing the west central coast of Florida.

A Company You Can Depend On

Offering the latest and most innovative methods for removing the bees and hive from any structure. We are fully Licensed and insured to handle all of your needs. Please let the professionals handle your potentially dangerous nuisance wildlife removals. If you’re experiencing any other wildlife problems, please visit our Nuisance Wildlife Removal, Inc. website for more details.

Bees swarm when it is time to find a new home because of overcrowding, or other undesirable conditions. Swarming bees are loaded with honey and are not inclined to sting. If left alone, they will probably move on within a day or two.


If you see a swarm, please do not try to handle it yourself. There is no way to visually determine whether it is Africanized or not, and it is not worth getting seriously injured or injuring innocent bystanders. Please call a certified professional to handle the swarm / colony.

Please call us for a humane solution to your bee problems!

Delilah is 400 pounds Boa Constrictor snake

More Large Nonnative Snakes Are Showing Up In Private Homes

Florida 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.

Boa Constrictor

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 .

Burmese Python

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.

Do you have a pet snake that has gotten out of control? Can’t find enough rabbits to feed that monster anymore? Call us at Nuisance Wildlife Removal and we’ll help with the problem.

Avoid A Snake Encounter

rattlesnake preparing to strike - Don't put yourself in this position.

 Snake Are Predictable Until You Step On One

This is the perfect time of year for people to cross paths with snakes in Florida. It has been extra hot, we’ve had a lot of extra rain lately, and there is always more construction during the warmer months. All of these things can combine to cause snakes to move around more during the day.

They may be looking for relief:

  • from the heat
  • from the wet conditions
  • moving to wetter conditions to cool down.
  • construction projects may also cause the snakes to look for a more stable place to hide.

Avoid The Snake Encounter

What ever the reason, they are more likely to encounter human interaction. Aside from the unfortunate little girl in Central Florida killed by a family pet python, there have also been at least 3, possibly 4 snake bite victims in Florida, in just the last few weeks. All of these were reportedly rattlesnake bites. The latest was a child.

If you encounter snakes on your property, don’t take any chances. Call an expert to remove the serpent before there is a tragic event with your pets or family. Call Nuisance Wildlife Removal of Florida at 866-263-WILD.

Our expert wildlife technicians will find and trap or capture the snake, determine whether it is poisonous, and either relocate it or euthanize it after that determination.

Don’t take chances with the well being of your family.

Hurricane Season

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Wild Animals May Seek Refuge In Your Home To Survive

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.

Rodents And Nocturnal Animals Run On Instinct

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 that is pretty inviting to rats, squirrels, raccoons, bats and many other wild creatures.

 

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

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

 Call Up For A Inspection Of Your Home

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 earlier 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.

Wildlife Invades Florida Homes.

abandonned raccoon babyAlways Seek A Qualified Person For The Job

Would 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, opossums, bats, and bee hives, when they invade peoples’ spaces. Do it yourself people 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.

How Do We Get A Raccoon Family Out Of Your House?

The baby raccoon on the right 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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 Nuisance Wildlife Removal services 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 vent work 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.

Africanized Bees

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

State Seeks To Eradicate Colonies

Africanized bees are over taking the wild populations of European bees in Florida. That is why the state advises africanized honey beeresidents to exterminate feral colonies found on properties close to people.

“Public safety is ultimately our goal,”

said Jerry Hayes, chief of the apiary section of Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

“Three or four years ago, the bees we were finding might show 20 to 30 percent Americanization. Now it’s 60 to 80 percent.”

Bees Feel At Home In Southern Florida

Southern and southwest Florida has a higher density of the bees than other parts of the state, he said. That’s probably because the area resembles Central and South America, where Africanized bees started in this hemisphere.

“Beekeepers are not part of the problem,” Hayes said. “We don’t want them zoned or ordinance out of being. But having more managed colonies will not stop Africanized bees from expanding.”

Storms Bring Animals Inside

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Storms Drive Wildlife To Your House For Shelter

The official Atlantic storm season is from June 1st to November 30th. What we see here a lot at Nuisance Wildlife Removal is animals driven into people’s homes by high winds and flooding of their natural habitat. It is only natural to head for high ground as water encroaches.

If you’ve ever looked in your attic or upper crawl space, you can see that it is dark and dry. This is very inviting to a rat or raccoon trying to keep their babies safe and dry during a storm or it’s aftermath.

Prevent Unwanted Animal Visitors From Homesteading

Nuisance Wildlife Removal Inc. offers free inspections to your home and property, to assure that all possible entrances to your home are covered or excluded, to prevent any non-intended habitation by wildlife during the coming storm season.

Contact us by calling 941-729-2103 or through the contact form on this website.

Africanized Honey Bees

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

A nest of africanized honey bees on tree limb

Africanized Bees Stake A Claim In Florida Territory

According to a 2005 public advisory from the Florida Department of Agriculture, Africanized Honey Bees (AHB) have been present in the Tampa Bay area since 2002. They probably arrived through ports, on ships from Guatemala.

Over the last several years, numerous attacks on humans and animals have been reported in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Emergency response agencies in these states have implemented first responder training programs as well as public education efforts. While there have been no attacks on humans reported in Florida, farm animals have been attacked.

Future encounters between Africanized Honey Bees and humans is considered inevitable, so the best course of action is the education of the public, especially as we move into warmer weather when outside activities are more frequent.

Bee Alert- What To Watch Out For

Here are some Africanized Honey Bees safety precautions suggested by the Florida Department of Agriculture.

  • Be attuned and alert to buzzing in your environment – this may indicate a nest or swarm of bees.
  • Use care when entering sheds or outbuildings where bees may nest.
  • Examine work areas before using power equipment such as lawn mowers, weed cutters, and chain saws – the noise excites bees.
  • Be alert when engaged in all outdoor activities.
  • Do not disturb a nest or swarm of bees, leave the area immediately, and contact Nuisance Wildlife Removal Inc., or your county extension agent.
  • If attacked by aggressive bees, run as fast as possible to a safe area. Aggressive Africanized Honey Bees may pursue for up to ¼ of a mile.

If Stung By Africanized Bees

Takes these precautionary steps.

  •  Go quickly to a safe area.
  • Remove stingers by scraping – use a flicking action with a finger nail or credit card. Do not squeeze or the stinger may stay in and get infected.
  •  Apply ice.
  • Seek medical attention immediately if breathing becomes labored.

If a large volume of bees are present on your property the wise course of action may be to have them removed. If for no other reason that that fact the hive will continue to expand and could become a danger to children in the area.  If that is the case call Nuisance Wildlife Trapper for a free evaluation of removing the hive.
