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

Iguanas burrow under seawalls and foundations, and their droppings often carry salmonella and other diseases. In certain cases they can become aggressive and deliver a strong, painful bite to children and pets.

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 response to active sightings give you year-round peace of mind that your pets are safe.
