Humane Wildlife Removal in St. Augustine, Palm Coast & St. Johns County

No, homeowners can trap and remove nuisance raccoons on their own property. But if you plan to relocate or handle protected species (bats, migratory birds, alligators), Florida law requires a licensed trapper. Brandon holds the license — we handle the paperwork.

Nuisance mammals like raccoons and armadillos are released on approved private land far from the pickup site, per FWC guidance. Squirrels and opossums the same. For invasive species like Norway rats, Florida law prohibits release — those are euthanized humanely on-site. We’re transparent about what we do with every animal.

Sometimes. Damage from bat guano, raccoon-torn insulation, or chewed wiring may be covered under sudden/accidental damage clauses, but not gradual damage. We photograph every removal and provide documentation you can submit to your insurance carrier.

Yes. North Florida has four venomous species — cottonmouth, coral snake, pygmy rattler, and Eastern diamondback. We identify from a safe distance, capture with proper tools, and relocate. Don’t approach or try to identify yourself — snap a photo and call.

North Florida bats have a state-protected maternity season from April 15 to August 15. During those months, young pups can’t fly and would starve if excluded from the roost. We do the inspection during the season and schedule the actual exclusion for August 16+ to comply with FWC rules.

Simple cases (one raccoon, one snake) — 3 to 7 days total including trap monitoring and sealing. Complex cases (bat colonies, multiple squirrels, full attic restoration) — 2 to 4 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline during the inspection.

Yes for exclusion sealing (mesh, hardware cloth, flashing) and insulation removal. For major structural work like drywall or soffit rebuild, we coordinate with a licensed general contractor so it’s one project instead of two.

For active-danger situations (venomous snake in a home with children, aggressive raccoon on a deck), we respond same-day when possible. Call the mobile line — 386-597-3955.

Every entry point we seal is warranted against reentry for 12 months. If any animal gets back in through a sealed point, we re-remove it and reseal at no charge. The warranty does not cover new entry points created by storm damage, roof work, or other trades.

Yes. Every removal job includes before-and-after photos of entry points, the trapped animal (when safe to photograph), and any damage found. We deliver a documented report you can attach to a homeowners insurance claim if attic contamination or wiring damage qualifies for coverage.
