Know the Risk

Why this wildlife is dangerous to your family

These are not ordinary pests. In South Florida, the wrong encounter can mean a trip to the emergency vet — or worse. Here is what you are up against.

Cane toads can kill a pet in minutes

A single lick or bite delivers bufotoxin that causes drooling, seizures, and death without fast treatment. Dogs and cats are most at risk at night and in the rainy season.

Venomous snakes put pets and kids at risk

Water moccasins, coral snakes, and rattlesnakes hide in garages, woodpiles, and landscaping — right where curious pets and children explore.

Iguanas damage property and carry disease

Burrows undermine seawalls and foundations, droppings spread salmonella, and cornered iguanas can injure pets that give chase.

The Process

How It Works

A clear, protection-first process that starts with a free inspection and ends with lasting peace of mind.

01

Free Inspection

We walk your property to identify active wildlife, entry points, breeding sources, and the specific risks to your pets and family — then explain exactly what we found.

02

Removal & Barriers

We remove the immediate threat — toads, snakes, or iguanas — and install pet-safe barriers and exclusion to physically keep them out of your yard.

03

Prevention Plan

We set up a recurring prevention program timed to South Florida’s seasons, so your property stays protected long after the first visit.

04

Ongoing Protection

Scheduled checkups, rainy-season sweeps, and priority emergency response give you year-round peace of mind that your pets are safe.

Reviews

Trusted by South Florida pet owners

Families across our service area rely on Toad Shield to keep their pets and homes safe.

Our golden retriever grabbed a bufo toad last summer and we barely made it to the vet in time. Toad Shield came out, barriered the yard, and we haven’t seen a toad since. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.

Megan R., Palm Beach County

Found a water moccasin by the pool cage at 9pm with two kids in the house. They answered the emergency line and had it safely removed within the hour. Incredibly professional.

David & Sofia P., Broward County

Iguanas had completely taken over our seawall and were digging under the dock. The trapping program worked and the damage has stopped. Highly recommend.

Robert L., Miami-Dade County

They took the time to show my kids how to tell a harmless native frog from a dangerous cane toad. You can tell they actually care about keeping pets safe.

Jennifer K., Martin County

After a neighbor’s dog died from a toad, we called Toad Shield immediately. The nighttime sweep turned up more toads than I ever imagined. So glad we did it before something happened.

Carlos M., St. Lucie County

Reliable, on time, and they explain everything. The recurring rainy-season visits keep our yard toad-free and our two dogs safe.
