Summary:
St. Lucie County’s rapid development has pushed wildlife into closer contact with residential areas. What used to be natural habitat is now your neighborhood, and animals are adapting by moving into attics, crawl spaces, and outbuildings.
The most common invaders include raccoons, squirrels, bats, opossums, and various rodent species. Each brings its own set of challenges and potential dangers. Raccoons can carry rabies and cause significant structural damage. Squirrels chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards. Bats leave behind guano that poses serious health risks.
Florida’s year-round warm climate means these problems don’t have an “off season.” Animals breed multiple times per year, turning a small problem into a major infestation quickly.
You might be tempted to handle wildlife removal yourself. After all, how hard can it be to set a few traps and wait? The reality is much more complicated and potentially dangerous.
Florida has strict regulations about wildlife trapping and relocation. The state requires that nuisance animals either be humanely euthanized or released on the same property where they were captured. This prevents disease spread but means your “relocated” raccoon family might just move back into your attic next week.
Professional wildlife removal goes far beyond simple trapping. It requires identifying all entry points, understanding animal behavior patterns, and implementing exclusion methods that prevent re-entry. Most homeowners lack the specialized equipment, knowledge, and legal permits necessary for effective wildlife control.
Safety is another major concern. Wildlife can carry diseases like rabies, and many species will bite when cornered or threatened. Raccoons are particularly aggressive when protecting their young, and even small bats can transmit serious illnesses through bites or scratches.
The damage assessment aspect is often overlooked in DIY attempts. Animals don’t just live in your space – they contaminate it with urine and feces, chew through materials, and can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage. Professional services include thorough cleanup and sanitation, plus repairs to prevent future invasions.
Finally, timing matters enormously in wildlife removal. Florida law prohibits bat exclusion during maternity seasons, and removing animals with dependent babies requires special handling. Professionals understand these regulations and seasonal considerations, ensuring humane and legal removal processes.

We offer comprehensive wildlife removal solutions that address both immediate problems and long-term prevention. Our process begins with a thorough inspection to identify all affected areas, entry points, and the extent of any damage.
As licensed professionals, we understand animal behavior patterns and can predict where problems are likely to develop. We use humane trapping methods that comply with Florida regulations while ensuring the safety of both animals and humans. Most importantly, we implement exclusion strategies that prevent re-entry, breaking the cycle of recurring infestations.
The cleanup and sanitation phase is crucial but often overlooked by homeowners. Our professional services include removal of contaminated insulation, disinfection of affected areas, and proper disposal of hazardous materials according to health department guidelines.
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your property. This goes beyond just looking for obvious signs of animal activity. We examine your roofline, foundation, vents, and other potential entry points to understand how animals are accessing your space.
Our inspection report details all findings, including species identification, entry points, damage assessment, and recommended treatment options. You’ll receive a written estimate that breaks down costs for removal, exclusion work, cleanup, and any necessary repairs.
During the removal phase, we use species-appropriate trapping methods and follow up regularly to monitor progress. We understand that different animals require different approaches – what works for squirrels won’t necessarily work for bats or raccoons.
Exclusion work is where the real value lies. This involves sealing entry points with materials that animals can’t chew through or tear apart. We use professional-grade exclusion materials like hardware cloth, metal flashing, and other durable materials that provide long-term protection.
Our cleanup process addresses health and safety concerns while removing attractants that might draw other animals. This includes removing contaminated insulation, sanitizing affected areas, and eliminating odors that signal to other animals that your property was previously occupied.
We provide follow-up services to ensure the solution is working. We offer warranties on our exclusion work and will return to address any issues that arise during the warranty period.
Not all wildlife removal services are created equal. In St. Lucie County, you want a company that understands local regulations, common species, and seasonal patterns that affect wildlife behavior.
We maintain proper licensing and insurance coverage. Florida requires specific permits for wildlife control work, and we readily provide proof of our credentials. Our insurance protects you from liability if something goes wrong during the removal process.
Our experience with local wildlife matters enormously. St. Lucie County has unique challenges, from the variety of bat species to the aggressive nature of local raccoon populations. Since 2006, we’ve understood these nuances and provide effective solutions based on local expertise.
Our customer reviews and references provide insight into our reliability and quality of work. Our customers consistently mention our thorough cleanup, professional communication, and long-term success in preventing re-entry. We’ve earned a 5-star rating from over 141 satisfied customers.
We provide transparent and comprehensive pricing. We include all necessary exclusion work and cleanup services in our estimates. We believe in doing the job right the first time rather than offering quick fixes that lead to recurring problems.
We offer emergency availability because wildlife problems don’t follow business hours. Some situations require immediate attention for safety reasons. We provide 24/7 emergency response, demonstrating our commitment to customer service.
We stand behind our work with warranties and guarantees on exclusion work. We return to address any issues that arise during our warranty period. This shows our confidence in our methods and provides you with peace of mind.
Our professional wildlife removal solves your immediate problem, but prevention ensures it doesn’t happen again. The best approach combines proper exclusion work with habitat modification and ongoing vigilance.
Regular property maintenance plays a crucial role in wildlife prevention. Keep tree branches trimmed away from your roofline, repair damaged screens and vents, and address any structural issues that might create entry points. Small gaps that seem insignificant can provide access for determined animals.
When you’re ready to reclaim your property from unwanted wildlife, choose a service that offers complete solutions rather than quick fixes. ProControl Management Services has been protecting St. Lucie County homes since 2006, providing the expertise and comprehensive approach you need for lasting results.
