Last updated: September 24, 2026
AnimalControl Direct serves Florida. We help homeowners in St. Petersburg, Hialeah, Tallahassee, Miramar, West Palm Beach, and Miami Gardens. Our team handles wildlife issues across the state.
Florida's warm climate means wildlife is active year-round, but activity peaks in different seasons. Summers can bring out more insects and reptiles, while cooler months see an increase in mammals seeking shelter. Many Florida homes, especially those near coastal areas or natural preserves, are prone to wildlife intrusions. Older homes and those with accessible attics or crawl spaces are common targets. Our services are designed to address these year-round and seasonal challenges. We understand the unique wildlife concerns of Florida residents. We focus on humane and effective removal. When choosing a provider in Florida, look for experience with local species like raccoons and opossums. Ask about their prevention methods. The cost of service depends on the animal and the difficulty of removal. Get a free phone quote to understand the price.
Common questions
Who to call to pick up stray cats?
For stray cats, you should contact local animal shelters or rescue organizations. These groups are best equipped to care for and rehome stray felines. AnimalControl Direct focuses on removing nuisance wildlife from homes and properties. We do not handle stray domestic animals like cats. Please seek assistance from your local humane society.
What animals does animal control deal with?
We handle a variety of nuisance wildlife that may enter homes and businesses. This includes raccoons, squirrels, opossums, bats, and rodents. We address animals that cause damage or pose health risks. Our goal is to safely and humanely remove them. We serve communities across Florida, including St. Petersburg and Hialeah.
How much does it cost to remove a dead animal?
The cost to remove a dead animal depends on its location and size. If it is in an easily accessible area, the removal is usually straightforward and less expensive. If it is inside a wall or under a structure, it will require more effort and thus incur higher costs. We offer a free phone quote to give you an estimate. This applies to properties in Florida.
How to get rid of critters in your house?
Getting rid of critters requires professional intervention. We identify how they entered your home and then seal those entry points. Next, we safely remove the animals. Our technicians in Florida use effective methods. We serve areas like West Palm Beach and focus on preventing future invasions. Trust us to handle your wildlife problems.
Does animal control charge you to remove an animal?
Yes, there is a charge for professional wildlife removal services. The exact cost depends on the type of animal and the complexity of the removal process. We offer a free phone quote to provide you with an estimate before we begin. This ensures you are aware of the expense. We offer transparent pricing for our Florida clients.
What are wildlife bridges in Florida?
Wildlife bridges, also known as overpasses or underpasses, are structures built to help animals safely cross roads. They reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and allow for animal movement between habitats. While we don't construct these, we address the animals that may be affected by habitat fragmentation in areas like Tallahassee. Our focus is on removal from your property.
